摘要: 本实验训练恒河猴对两组其和不超过8的刺激实体(卡片上的黑色圆点)进行相加,再与第三组刺激实体进行数多少的比较判断。实验共有9个训练程序,课题逐次由易到难,刺激的数目也由少到多。有一只恒河猴达到了全部9个程序的训练标准。证明恒河猴的确具有学会把两个数进行相加的能力。这种相加不可能是数数的结果,极可能是在知觉上将它们融合或接合在一起。

Abstract: In this research, we presented on each trial three cards with 2 to 6 black-filled circles to monkeys. The monkeys were required to sum two of the three numbers and to determine which one(the sum or the third one) had the greater number of dots. The monkeys were trained on nine tasks but only one monkey met the criterion of all tasks. We concluded that monkeys were able to learn to sum up two numbers together, Our explanation is that the monkey's performance is due to perceptual fusion.

Key words: rhesus monkey, summation, number descrimination, perception fusion
