Osvath and Osvath (Anim Cogn 11: 661-674, 2008) report innovative studies with two chimpanzees and one orangutan that suggest some capacity to select and keep a tool for use about an hour later. This is a welcome contribution to a small, but rapidly growing, field. Here we point out some of the weaknesses in the current data and caution the interpretation the authors advance. It is not clear to what extent the apes really engaged in any foresight in these studies.
奥斯瓦特和奥斯瓦特（《动物认知》第11卷：661 - 674页，2008年）报告了对两只黑猩猩和一只猩猩进行的创新性研究，这些研究表明它们具有某种能力，能够挑选并保留一件工具，以便大约一小时后使用。这对一个规模虽小但发展迅速的领域来说是一项值得欢迎的贡献。在此，我们指出当前数据中的一些弱点，并对作者提出的解释提出警示。在这些研究中，猿类究竟在多大程度上真正具备任何前瞻性尚不清楚。
