We have previously demonstrated that chimpanzees, similar to humans, can discriminate the orientations of a diagonal line better when lines are presented in redundant contexts than alone. In the present study, we examined whether the same redundant context facilitated diagonal-orientation discrimination in mice. Mice were presented one of three simultaneous, diagonal-orientation discrimination tasks: (a) presented alone, (b) presented with the context that resulted in emergent configurations in chimpanzees and humans, and (c) presented with the context not resulting in emergent configurations in chimpanzees or humans. In contrast to the facilitative effect of congruent context in chimpanzees and humans, the identical context did not facilitate the discrimination of the diagonal orientation in mice. This finding suggests that mice, unlike chimpanzees and humans, do not perceive emergent Gestalt. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2021 APA, all rights reserved).

小鼠(Mus musculus)不感知紧急格式塔。

我们之前已经证明,与人类类似,当线条出现在冗余上下文中时,黑猩猩与人类一样可以更好地区分对角线的方向,而不是单独呈现。在本研究中,我们检查了相同的冗余上下文是否有助于小鼠的对角线方向歧视。向小鼠呈现三个同时进行的对角方向辨别任务之一:(a) 单独呈现,(b) 呈现导致黑猩猩和人类出现紧急配置的上下文,以及 (c) 呈现不导致紧急配置的上下文在黑猩猩或人类中。与黑猩猩和人类一致上下文的促进作用相反,相同的上下文并没有促进小鼠对角线方向的区分。这一发现表明小鼠,与黑猩猩和人类不同,不会感知紧急格式塔。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA,保留所有权利)。
