来自京都大学的一项研究显示, 黑猩猩在受观众观察时, 在困难的任务上表现更好, 表现出与人类相似的「观众效应」。 A study from Kyoto University reveals that chimpanzees perform better on difficult tasks when watched by an audience, demonstrating an "audience effect" similar to humans. 研究人员注意到,与触摸屏互动的观察黑猩猩提高了工作绩效,有更多的观察员在场,而较容易完成任务的绩效有所下降。 Observing chimpanzees interacting with touchscreens, researchers noted enhanced performance with more observers present, while performance on easier tasks declined. 这些调查结果表明,受众效应在人类社会结构之前可能已经演变,突出了人类和黑猩猩的行为相似性。 These findings suggest the audience effect may have evolved before human social structures, highlighting behavioral similarities between humans and chimpanzees.
