Abstract

The successive discrimination reversal (SDR) performances of four gibbons were obtained on a spatial task and compared with performances of squirrel, owl, and capuchin monkeys previously obtained on the same task. The gibbon’s performance was notably inferior to that of the capuchin and rather more closely resembled that of the owls and squirrels. The value of interspecies SDR performance comparisons in establishing a behavior taxonomy is discussed.
