Dimond and Harries (Neuropsychologia 22, 227-233, 1984) claim that monkeys, unlike great apes and humans, rarely touch their faces. These authors reported the existence of a left-hand preference for face touching in great apes and humans. Using two species of macaques, we found an incidence of face touching by monkeys which was much higher than that reported by Dimond and Harries. Moreover, a re-analysis of their data failed to show any evidence for species differences in lateralization of face touching by primates.
戴蒙德和哈里斯（《神经心理学》第22卷，第227 - 233页，1984年）声称，与大猩猩和人类不同，猴子很少触摸自己的脸。这些作者报告称，大猩猩和人类在触摸脸部时有左手偏好。通过对两种猕猴的研究，我们发现猴子触摸脸部的发生率比戴蒙德和哈里斯报告的要高得多。此外，对他们数据的重新分析未能显示出灵长类动物在触摸脸部的偏侧化方面存在物种差异的任何证据。
