The detour test is a widely used test in comparative psychology that assesses various cognitive abilities, including inhibitory control. The goal of this study was to assess the degree of consistency in the performance of human children and capuchin monkeys on a manual detour test and on a computerized equivalent. Because computerized testing is more common in comparative research, it is important to determine whether a computerized version of the detour problem can provide measures of general inhibitory that align with measures obtained from the same subjects when given a manual version. We found that human children and capuchin monkeys approached both tasks very differently and also that there was no correlation between the manual and the computerized task within each species. This suggests caution is needed when considering one format or the other when the goal is to use a single task to provide a general measure of inhibitory control.

评估儿童和猴子在计算机化和手动绕行问题任务中的表现的一致性

绕道测试是比较心理学中广泛使用的测试，用于评估各种认知能力，包括抑制控制。这项研究的目的是评估人类儿童和卷尾猴在手动绕道测试和计算机化等效测试中表现的一致性程度。由于计算机化测试在比较研究中更为常见，因此重要的是要确定绕行问题的计算机化版本是否可以提供与从相同受试者获得的手动版本的测量值一致的一般抑制测量值。我们发现人类儿童和卷尾猴处理这两项任务的方式非常不同，而且每个物种的手动任务和计算机任务之间没有相关性。
