We find problems with Vaesen's treatment of the primatological research, in particular his analysis of foresight, function representation, and social intelligence. We argue that his criticism of research on foresight in great apes is misguided. His claim that primates do not attach functions to particular objects is also problematic. Finally, his analysis of theory of mind neglects many distinctions.
我们发现 Vaesen 在处理灵长类研究方面存在一些问题，特别是他对前瞻性、功能表现和社会智能的分析。我们认为，他对大型猿类前瞻性研究的批评是有失偏颇的。他声称灵长类动物不会将特定对象赋予特定的功能也是有问题的。最后，他对心理理论的分析忽略了许多区别。
