Hoerl & McCormack argue that comparative and developmental psychology teaches us that “neither animals nor infants can think and reason about time.” We argue that the authors neglect to take into account pivotal evidence from ethology that suggests that non-human animals do possess a capacity to represent and reason about time, namely, work done on Sumatran orangutans’ long travel calls.

非人类动物的时间表示和推理

Hoerl & McCormack 认为，比较和发展心理学告诉我们“动物和婴儿都不能思考和推理时间”。我们认为，作者忽略了来自行为学的关键证据，这些证据表明非人类动物确实具有代表和推理时间的能力，即对苏门答腊猩猩的长途旅行电话所做的工作。
