Washburn, D. A., & Rumbaugh, D. M. (1992). Comparative assessment of psychomotor performance: Target prediction by humans and macaques (Macaca mulatta).
Although nonhuman primates such as rhesus monkeys have been useful models of many aspects of cognition and performance, it has been argued that, unlike humans, they may lack the capacity to respond as predictor-operators. Data from the present series of experiments undermine this claim, suggesting instead a continuity of predictive competency between humans and nonhuman primates. A prediction coefficient was devised to examine the degree ...
