Four infant chimpanzees learned a matching-to-sample task when only two training stimuli were used. They then spontaneously transferred the matching concept to novel items, including three-dimensional objects and fabric swatches, without any experimenter-provided differential feedback. These results support the view that the matching concept is broadly construed by chimpanzees from the beginning and does not depend upon explicit training.
当仅使用两种训练刺激时，四只幼年黑猩猩学会了一项样本匹配任务。然后，它们自发地将匹配概念转移到新的物品上，包括三维物体和织物样本，且没有任何实验者提供的差别反馈。这些结果支持了这样一种观点，即黑猩猩从一开始就广泛地理解匹配概念，并且不依赖于明确的训练。
