In the present study we asked whether lemurs could learn to manipulate information in order to deceive a human competitive
trainer. Four brown lemurs were trained to communicate about the location of a hidden reward to a cooperative trainer, who
rewarded the subject if he indicated the baited bowl. Next, a competitive trainer was introduced who kept the reward for himself
if the subject indicated the baited bowl. In a first experiment, sessions were randomly assigned to be with either the cooperative
or competitive trainer. No subject was able to show an efficient tactic with both trainers. In a second experiment, the participation
of the two trainers was randomized across the trials for each session. When trials were mixed, one subject significantly chose
baited location when interacting with the cooperative trainer, and reliably increased his choices of the unbaited location
when presented with the competitive trainer. As with most other primate species tested under the same paradigm, associative
learning may explain deceptive pointing by lemurs in this study. 相似文献
