四只恒河猴被关在它们的活笼子里，笼子里有一个组装好的拼图装置，这个装置由一个木制底座组成，底座是齐平的，一个由钩子束缚的搭扣，钩子又由一根大头针束缚。四名匹配的对照受试者被给予未组装的拼图。经过12天的拼图体验后，两组都进行了5分钟的拼图观察。在第13和14天每小时一次。在第14天的最后一次观察之后，三个试验被给予食物奖励，然后是最后一个没有外部奖励的试验。结果表明：小组学会了以高效的方式操作谜题，尽管没有提供任何特定的外部奖励。食物的引入扰乱了食物试验和随后的非食物试验的表现。作者提出了一种外部诱发的操纵驱动来解释本研究中获得的行为。
Four rhesus monkeys were presented in their living cages with an assembled puzzle apparatus consisting of a wooden base to which was attached, flush, a hasp restrained by a hook which was, in turn, restrained by a pin. Four matched control subjects were given unassembled puzzles. After 12 days'' experience with the puzzles, both groups were observed with the puzzles for five 5-min. periods at hourly intervals on both Days 13 and 14. Following the last observation on Day 14, three trials were presented with food rewards, followed by a final trial without extrinsic reward. Results show that the exptl. group learned to manipulate the puzzle in a highly efficient manner, although no specific extrinsic reward of any kind was presented. Introduction of food served to disrupt performance on the food trials and the subsequent non-food trial. The authors propose an externally elicited manipulation drive to account for the behavior obtained in this study.
