Performance on identical search tasks based on cues directly perceived or indirectly perceived through video were compared among a group of 4 adult chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), a group of 2 adult orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus), and a group of 36 children (between 2 and 3 years of age). Children comprehended directly perceived cues but had difficulty with video cues. In contrast, chimpanzees and 1 orangutan were successful in using video to guide their search for a hidden object. Two follow-up studies with 3-year-old children demonstrated the importance of more distinct perceptual and verbal cues in aiding children's understanding of video as referring to real-world events.
在一组4只成年黑猩猩（黑猩猩属）、一组2只成年猩猩（红毛猩猩属）和一组36名儿童（2至3岁）之间，比较了基于直接感知或通过视频间接感知的线索进行相同搜索任务的表现。儿童能够理解直接感知的线索，但在视频线索方面存在困难。相比之下，黑猩猩和1只猩猩成功地利用视频来指导它们寻找隐藏物体。两项针对3岁儿童的后续研究表明，更清晰的感知和语言线索对于帮助儿童理解视频所指的现实世界事件具有重要意义。
