Comparative Cognitive Science of Intelligence

这项研究旨在阐明智力的进化。研究小组一直专注于黑猩猩的视觉认知。这种方法可以称为比较认知科学（CCS）。这门新学科旨在从进化的角度来理解人类的认知。该研究方法的特点是基于统一的客观尺度对不同物种的性能进行比较。为此，使用相同的测试设备并遵循相同的测试程序，对人类和黑猩猩的表现进行了比较。我们和同事们研究了黑猩猩的视觉世界，并将其与人类的视觉世界进行了比较。这个长期的项目开始于1978年，当时被命名为“爱”的主体大约一岁半。我们现在有10只黑猩猩在灵长类动物研究所。问题是，黑猩猩是如何看待世界的？我们利用计算机控制的设备，在相同的测试情境下，研究了人类和黑猩猩的颜色感知、形状感知、视觉敏锐度、复杂模式识别、人脸识别和数字概念。在最近的一项研究中，两只黑猩猩被训练触摸视频监视器屏幕来画字母表中的一个字母。当屏幕上出现一个带有细白线的字母样本时，两名受试者都成功地在屏幕上画出了字母。其中Ai可以在显示器上显示样线和起点时，画出相同长度的平行线。这些技能实际上是黑猩猩构建视觉符号的一步。除此之外，我们还对Arhnem种群的黑猩猩行为进行了纵向观察。我们还邀请了国外的研究者来讨论像视觉搜索这样的研究技术。我们在IEC会议上举行了一个关于智能进化的半封闭研讨会。未来基于比较认知科学的研究将集中在人类和非人灵长类动物智力的连续性和非连续性上。少

This study aimed to clarify the evolution of inntelligence. The study team has concentrated on visual cognition in chimpanzees. The approach may be described as Comparative Cognitive Science (CCS).This new discipline aims to understand human cognition from an evolutionary perspective. The research method is characterized by the comparison of the performance of different species based on an unified objective scale. For that purpose, human performance and chimpanzee performance were compared using the same test apparatus and following the same test procedure. Our colleagues and us have studied the visual world of chimpanzees in comparison with that of hamans. The long-term project started in 1978 when the main subject named "Ai" was about one and a half year old. We have 10 chimpanzees in a group now at Primate Research Institute. The question was, how do chimpanzees see the world? We have studied color perception, form perception, visual acuity, complex pattern recognition, face recogni … More tion, and the concept of number in both humans and chimpanzees under the same test situation using a computer-controlled apparatus. In a recent study, two chimpanzees were trained to touch a video-monitor screen to draw a letter of the alphabet. Both subjects successfully drew letters on a screen when a sample letter with thin white lines appeared on a screen. One of them, Ai, can draw a parallel line with the same length when a sample line and a starting point were shown on the monitor.These skills are a step for the chimpanzees actually to construct visual symbols. In addition to these efforts, we also carried out lngitudinal observation of chimpanzee behavior in Arhnem colony. We also invited foreign researcher for discussing the research technique like visual search. We had a semi-closed symposium in the IEC meeting on the evolution of intelligence. Future research based on Comparative Cognitive Science will focus on the continuity and discontinuity of intelligence in humans and nonhman primates. Less
