Can monkeys and apes use sequence order to resolve perceptual ambiguity? A lack of evidence in two rhesus macaques and one language trained bonobo

2026-07-17

Abstract excerpt

<p>In human language, word order impacts how words are categorized and understood (as nouns, verbs, etc.). We have demonstrated that this effect extends to non-linguistic stimuli, suggesting that the impact of sequence order on stimulus categorization is a domain-general, rather than language-specific cognitive process. Here we ask if this process is evolutionarily conserved in other nonhuman primates. We develope...
