Abstract
A rhesus monkey accurately recognized pictures in a Sternberg memory scanning experiment. When the monkey was tested with pictures that were reused during the same session, the monkey''s performance was nearly identical to that of a human subject. This result demonstrates that monkeys are capable of some of the short-term retrieval mechanisms of humans.This publication has 10 references indexed in Scilit:
