Description:
Monkeys (Macaca) were trained by operant conditioning techniques to report the minimum detectable change in location of a sound in space, and were tested with a series of recorded coo or clear call vocalizations. Acuity of localization varied from approximately 4 degrees to 15 degrees and was a function of the magnitude of the change in pitch (frequency modulation) of the different clear calls.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Brown, C H -- Beecher, M D -- Moody, D B -- Stebbins, W C -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Aug 25;201(4357):753-4.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/97785" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
