自我能动性是自我意识的一个重要方面。由于这一现象的主观性和研究的难度，这一研究还不够深入。相比之下，这一点尤其缺乏研究，因为动物不能接受机构的指示或作出机构声明。因此，我们开发了一个独特的新的自我代理范式。人类和恒河猴学习的事件类别区分参与者的意志反应是否控制屏幕启动。他们通过反复试验来学习，遵循最少的指令，没有机构方向（人类）或没有指令（猴子）。学习后，人类的口头类别描述编码的自我机构归因。在三个实验中，人类的代理归因在质量上提高了辨别能力-参与者没有调用自我代理很少超过机会表现。它还产生了诊断延迟配置文件：分类准确性在很大程度上取决于按下按钮和启动之间的时间关系，但仅适用于那些调用代理的人。在我们的最后一个实验中，猴子执行了发射任务。它们的性能和延迟曲线反映了人类的情况。因此，自我能动性可以被自我发现为组织歧视的框架。它也可能被一些非人类动物用作辨别线索。
Self-agency is a crucial aspect of self-awareness. It is under-researched given the phenomenon’s subjectivity and difficulty of study. It is particularly under-researched comparatively, given that animals cannot receive agency instructions or make agency declarations. Accordingly, we developed a distinctively new self-agency paradigm. Humans and rhesus macaques learned event categories differentiated by whether the participant’s volitional response controlled a screen launch. They learned by trial and error following minimal instructions with no agency orientation (humans) or no instructions (monkeys). After learning, humans’ verbalized category descriptions were coded for self-agency attributions. Across three experiments, humans’ agency attributions qualitatively improved discrimination performance—participants not invoking self-agency rarely exceeded chance performance. It also produced a diagnostic latency profile: classification accuracy depended heavily on the temporal relationship between the button-press and the launch, but only for those invoking agency. In our last experiment, monkeys performed the launch task. Their performance and latency profiles mirrored that of humans. Thus, self-agency can be self-discovered as a frame organizing discrimination. And it may be used as a discrimination cue by some nonhuman animals as well.
