Some studies of nonhuman animals’ metacognitive capacity encourage competing low-level, behavioral descriptions of trial-decline responses by animals in uncertainty-monitoring tasks. To evaluate the force of these behavioral descriptions, six capuchin monkeys were presented with two density-discrimination tasks between sparse and dense stimuli. In one task, difficult trials with stimuli near the middle of the density continuum could be declined through an “uncertainty” response. In the other task, making a “middle” response to the same stimuli was rewarded. In Experiment 1, capuchins essentially did not use the uncertainty response, but they did use the middle response. In Experiment 2, we replicated this result with 5 of 6 monkeys while equating the overall pace and reinforcement structure of the two tasks, although one monkey also showed appropriate use of the uncertainty response. These results challenge a purely associative interpretation of some uncertainty-monitoring performances by animals, while sharpening the theoretical question concerning the nature of the psychological signal that occasions uncertainty responses.
