项目摘要

From the view point of Comparative cognitive science, we studied the evolution of intelligence examining various aspects of cognitive functions in humans, chimpanzees, macaques, and pigeons. The research topics in chimpanzees are as follows : Acquisition of linguistic skills using visual symbols such as lexigrams and Kanji characters, the concept of number memory retention process, visual information processing using a visual search paradigm, unity perception with occluders, the study of comunication using the task of simultaneous lever-pressing, crossmodal matching of auditory and visual stimuli, choice behavior between two discrimination tasks, computer-guided line drawing. In addition to these experiments in a single-subject test situation, we developed a face-to-face test situation where a human tester is directly interacting with the chimpanzee subject in a same room. The topics is the imitation of actions and the play with clay. In the third paradigm, the chimpanzee intelligence was explored in the outdoor setting. The emergence of tool use and the propagation was studied in the open-air compound where a group of 10 chimpanzee live as a community. Social interaction was also examined in a competitive feeding situation. The study as a whole was collaborated with the foreign researchers invited to the institute. The research team also sent the members to foreign countries, such as the research of a group of chimpanzees in Holland and the field work in Guinea in West Africa. The studies coming from the same idea is also partially replicated in a gibbon, macaques, capuchins and pigeons. All the studies were put together to illustrate the nature of intelligence and clarify the evolutionary trend.

从比较认知科学的角度来看，我们研究了智力的演变，研究了人类，黑猩猩，猕猴和鸽子的认知功能的各个方面。 The research topics in chimpanzees are as follows : Acquisition of linguistic skills using visual symbols such as lexigrams and Kanji characters, the concept of number memory retention process, visual information processing using a visual search paradigm, unity perception with occluders, the study of comunication using the task of simultaneous lever-pressing, crossmodal matching of auditory and visual stimuli, choice behavior between two discrimination任务，计算机引导的线图。除了在单个受试者测试情况下进行这些实验外，我们还开发了面对面的测试情况，其中人类测试师正与同一个房间中的黑猩猩受试者直接相互作用。主题是模仿动作和与粘土的戏剧。在第三个范式中，在户外环境中探索了黑猩猩的情报。在露天大院中研究了工具使用和传播的出现，其中一组黑猩猩作为一个社区生活。在竞争性喂养情况下，还检查了社交互动。整个研究是与邀请参加该研究所的外国研究人员合作的。研究小组还将成员派往国外，例如对荷兰的一组黑猩猩的研究以及西非几内亚的现场工作。来自同一想法的研究也被部分复制在长臂猿，猕猴，卷尾和鸽子中。进行所有研究以说明智力的性质并阐明进化趋势。
