We investigated the cues rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) use to recognize a familiar human face. To manipulate facial cues, schematic faces were constructed with Identi-Kit materials derived from mug shots. The monkeys (N = 4) spontaneously classed Identi-Kit as faces on initial presentations. The monkeys then learned to distinguish one Identi-Kit face, the standard, from others. Panel presses indicated recognition of the standard face. Eye movement recordings revealed that the monkeys predominantly fixated on the eyes of the standard face. When the standard face was transformed by removing, altering, or reorienting its features, only alterations of eyes or brows lowered recognition; removal of eyes, brows, nose, or lips did not. Responses to rotated, inverted, and scrambled versions of the standard face varied but generally disrupted recognition. We concluded that features and configuration were used to recognize the human face.
我们研究了恒河猴（猕猴）用来识别熟悉人类面孔的线索。为了操控面部线索，我们用从警方照片中获取的面部拼图材料构建了示意性面孔。这些猴子（N = 4）在初次见到面部拼图时会自发地将其归类为面孔。然后，猴子们学会了将一张面部拼图面孔（标准面孔）与其他面孔区分开来。按压面板表示识别出了标准面孔。眼动记录显示，猴子们主要注视标准面孔的眼睛。当通过移除、改变或重新定向标准面孔的特征对其进行变换时，只有眼睛或眉毛的改变会降低识别率；移除眼睛、眉毛、鼻子或嘴唇则不会。对标准面孔的旋转、倒置和打乱版本的反应各不相同，但通常会干扰识别。我们得出结论，特征和构型被用于识别人类面孔。
