Differences in simple and complex social behavior were examined between monkeys reared with either animate, though nonconspecific, or inanimate surrogate mothers. In the first experiment, members of each rearing condition were formed into 6-member social groups for ten 5.5-hr trials. In the second experiment, members of each rearing condition were formed into social groups twice daily, one formation comprising all 6 group-members and one comprising 5 group-members, with a different individual excluded each day. Although members of both groups displayed deficient forms of social behavior, individuals reared with animate companions were able to use their limited social repertoires in more sophisticated ways, depending upon the social context. The results are discussed in terms of two "tasks" of social ontogeny, the acquisition of behavioral and social competences.
研究了由有生命但非同种的或无生命的替代母亲抚养长大的猴子在简单和复杂社会行为上的差异。在第一个实验中，每种抚养条件下的猴子被分成6只猴子的社会群体，进行十次每次5.5小时的试验。在第二个实验中，每种抚养条件下的猴子每天两次组成社会群体，一次由所有6只群体成员组成，一次由5只群体成员组成，每天排除不同的个体。尽管两组猴子都表现出社会行为的缺陷形式，但与有生命同伴一起长大的个体能够根据社会环境，以更复杂的方式运用其有限的社会技能。研究结果从社会个体发育的两个“任务”，即行为和社会能力的习得方面进行了讨论。
