Three rhesus monkeys and two groups of 10 human subjects judged upright or inverted pictures as same or different. The pictures were black and white pairs of human faces, monkey faces, or scenes. The monkeys were trained with sets of 50 pictures and were tested with other sets of 36 pictures from each category. The groups of 10 human subjects were tested with the same pictures used to test monkeys. Both monkeys and humans showed large performance decrements to inverted human faces relative to upright human faces but neither species showed inversion effects for monkey faces or scenes. A second test with both monkeys and humans showed the same pattern of results with a different set of human-face pictures that varied more in sex (female as well as male), facial hair, eyeglasses, haircut, view angle, and background than those of the first test. The results indicate similar face-processing mechanisms in monkeys and humans despite experiential and evolutionary differences.
三只恒河猴和两组共 10 名人类被试判断直立或倒置的图片是否相同或不同。这些图片是黑白配对的人脸、猴脸或场景。猴子通过 50 张图片的训练组进行测试，并通过来自每个类别的 36 张其他图片的测试组进行测试。两组共 10 名人类被试与用于测试猴子的相同图片一起接受测试。猴子和人类在倒置的人脸相对于直立的人脸时，表现都有很大的下降，但两种物种都没有表现出对猴脸或场景的倒置效应。第二项对猴子和人类的测试显示了相同的结果模式，使用了一组不同的人脸图片，这些图片在性别（女性和男性）、面部毛发、眼镜、发型、视角和背景等方面比第一次测试的图片差异更大。结果表明，尽管猴子和人类在经验和进化方面存在差异，但它们具有相似的面部处理机制。
