Nonhuman Primate Species

The studies described here are the first to demonstrate that a nonhuman primate species is capable of responding to pictorial depth information during infancy. In two experiments, pigtailed macaque ( Macaca nemestrina) infants were tested for responsivity to the pictorial depth cues of texture gradient/linear perspective and relative size. The procedures were adapted from human studies and are based on the proclivity of infants to reach more frequently to closer objects than to objects that are farther away. The stimulus displays included two equidistant objects that, when viewed monocularly, appear separated in space because of an illusion created by pictorial depth cues. When presented with these displays, animals reached significantly more often to the apparently closer objects under monocular conditions than under binocular conditions. These findings suggest that infant macaques are sensitive to pictorial depth information, the implication being that this ability has ancient phylogenetic origins and is not learned from exposure to the conventions of Western art.

The phenomenon of illusory motion described by Ames as the “rotating trapezoidal window,” the writers interpret as being given by the (monocular “pictorial”) depth cues inherent in the stimulus. In this paper three cues are separately examined: (i) aerial perspective, (ii) interposition, and (iii) gradient of texture density. The stimulus that is seen nearer is also seen moving in a nearer position than the other, and the real rotary motion is thus interpreted as an oscillatory motion or as a vertical motion in the frontal plane.
