Beschreibung:
<p>Cognitive-control processes are a feature of human cognition. Recent comparative tests have shown that some nonhuman animals might share aspects of cognitive control with humans. Two of the executive processes that constitute cognitive control are metacognition and self-control; here, recent experiments with chimpanzees are described that demonstrated metacognitive monitoring and control when these animals engaged in an information-seeking task. Chimpanzees also showed strategic responding in a self-control task by exhibiting self-distraction as an aid to delay of gratification. These demonstrations indicate continuity with similar human cognitive capacities, and the performances of chimpanzees in these kinds of tests have implications for considering the nature of the intelligence of these animals and the evolution of human cognition.</p>
