摘要: Abstract A longstanding question in comparative psychology is whether animals can use quantitative information to guide behavior ways similar how humans that information. The has been the focus of significant research across many species. In this chapter, we concentrate on some broader questions have asked, beginning with count way do absence language. We then review conducted nonhuman primates demonstrating their abilities judge quantities and learn ordinal relations between or symbols representing numbers items, explores extent which they fall prey same visual numerical illusions as do. compare performances those certain tasks, conclude by assessing different mechanisms proposed support processes animals.
