Grainger et al. (Reports, 13 April 2012, p. 245) suggest that baboons can discriminate words from nonwords on the basis of two-letter (bigram) frequencies. This ability can also be attributed to baboons being able to recognize specific letters (i.e., shapes) in specific positions in their four-letter words, without reference to letter or bigram frequencies.
格兰杰等人(2012 年 4 月 13 日,第 245 页)报告称,狒狒可以根据两个字母(双字母)的频率来区分单词和非单词。这种能力也可以归因于狒狒能够识别其四个字母单词中特定位置的特定字母(即形状),而无需参考字母或双字母的频率。
