A total of 16 lemurs, including representatives from three species (Lemur catta, Eulemur rubriventer, and Varecia variegata), were presented with a food-seeking task in which information about the rewards location, in one of two plastic tubes, was either known or not known. We evaluated whether lemurs would first look into the tube before making a choice. This information-seeking task aimed to assess whether subjects would display memory awareness, seeking additional information when they became aware they lacked knowledge of the rewards location. We predicted lemurs would be more likely to look into the tube when they had insufficient knowledge about the rewards position. Lemurs successfully gained the reward on most trials. However, they looked on the majority of trials regardless of whether they had all the necessary information to make a correct choice. The minimal cost to looking may have resulted in checking behavior to both confirm what they already knew and gain knowledge they did not have. When the cost of looking increased (elevating the end of tube, requiring additional energy expenditure to look inside-Experiment 2), lemurs still looked into tubes on both seen and unseen trials; however, the frequency of looking increased when opaque tubes were used (where they could not see the rewards location after baiting). This could suggest they checked more when they were less sure of their knowledge state. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved).

狐猴知道什么时候会错吗?对三种狐猴(Lemur catta,Eulemur rubriventer和Varecia variegata)的信息搜寻的调查。

总共有16种狐猴,包括来自三种物种(狐猴,欧洲七叶树和变异谷草)的代表,被执行了一项寻找食物的任务,在该任务中,关于已知奖励位置的信息位于两个塑料管之一中,或者未知。我们评估了狐猴在做出选择之前是否会先进入试管。此信息搜索任务旨在评估受试者是否会显示记忆意识,并在他们意识到自己不知道奖励位置时寻求其他信息。我们预测,当狐猴对奖励位置的了解不足时,它们更有可能进入试管。狐猴在大多数试验中都成功获得了奖励。然而,他们着眼于大多数试验,无论他们是否具有做出正确选择的所有必要信息。最小的外观花费可能导致检查行为,以确认他们已经知道的知识并获得他们没有的知识。当外观成本增加时(抬高灯管的末端,需要更多的能量消耗才能在实验2内查看),狐猴在可见和不可见的试验中仍会看管。但是,使用不透明管时(在诱饵后看不到奖励位置的情况下)看的频率增加了。这可能表明他们在不确定自己的知识状态时进行了更多检查。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2020 APA,保留所有权利)。最小的外观花费可能导致检查行为,以确认他们已经知道的知识并获得他们没有的知识。当外观成本增加时(抬高灯管的末端,需要更多的能量消耗才能在实验2内查看),狐猴在可见和不可见的试验中仍会看管。但是,使用不透明管时(在诱饵后看不到奖励位置的情况下)看的频率增加了。这可能表明他们在不确定自己的知识状态时进行了更多检查。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2020 APA,保留所有权利)。最小的外观花费可能导致检查行为,以确认他们已经知道的知识并获得他们没有的知识。当外观成本增加时(抬高灯管的末端,需要更多的能量消耗才能在实验2内查看),狐猴在可见和不可见的试验中仍会看管。但是,使用不透明管时(在诱饵后看不到奖励位置的情况下)看的频率增加了。这可能表明他们在不确定自己的知识状态时进行了更多检查。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2020 APA,保留所有权利)。狐猴在可见和不可见的试验中仍然观察着管子。但是,使用不透明管时(在诱饵后看不到奖励位置的情况下)看的频率增加了。这可能表明他们在不确定自己的知识状态时进行了更多检查。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2020 APA,保留所有权利)。狐猴仍然在可见和不可见的试验中观察管子。但是,使用不透明管时(在诱饵后看不到奖励位置的情况下)看的频率增加了。这可能表明他们在不确定自己的知识状态时进行了更多检查。(PsycINFO数据库记录(c)2020 APA,保留所有权利)。
