Face-like patterns attract attention from both human and nonhuman primates. The present study explored the facial preferences in infant pigtailed macaques (Macaca nemestrina). Twenty-five subjects looked at 20 paired drawings of adult conspecific monkey faces, and their looking time was recorded. The facial features in the drawings were arranged in positions ranging from a normal to a scrambled face. The subjects looked at the normal face more than expected by chance (P < .02), suggesting a preference, whereas the distorted faces were observed randomly. The normal face may have been preferred because the eyes were in a normal position within the facial outline.
类脸图案吸引了人类和非人类灵长类动物的注意。本研究探讨了幼年猪尾猕猴（食蟹猴）的面部偏好。25只受试动物观看了20对成年同种猴子面部的配对图画，并记录了它们的注视时间。图画中的面部特征排列位置从正常脸到打乱的脸不等。受试动物看向正常脸的时间比随机预期的要多（P < 0.02），表明存在偏好，而扭曲的脸则是被随机观看。正常脸可能受到偏好是因为眼睛在面部轮廓内处于正常位置。
