TL;DR: The authors compared the Piaget data with the Objective Responsibility in Children (OPC) data set and found that OPC outperformed PCA by a large margin, and OPC was more appropriate for children.

TL;DR: The results provide added evidence for the need to evaluate the sex factor before generalization of the results of any learning study involving monkeys of both sexes and confirm the superiority of female rhesus monkeys over male rhesu monkeys on spatial delayed- response performance.
Abstract: Earlier study showed female rhesus monkeys to be superior to males on spatial delayed-response learning performance The superiority of the female monkeys was attributed to their greater attentiveness, as experimentally demonstrated, rather than to a sex difference in intellectual ability The present study was conducted to determine whether similar sex differences were present in an independent group of monkeys that had previously been exposed to a nuclear radiation Delayed-response and reduced-cue discrimination tasks were used to test 56 rhesus (Macaca mulatta) monkeys, ranging in age from 30 to 42 months, which had been exposed to a nuclear radiation at the Nevada Test Site approximately 14 months earlier The estimated total dose varied from 273 to 670 rem ( gamma plus neutron radiation) Training was conducted in a modified version of the Wisconsin General Test Apparatus The females improved performance significantly faster than did the males on reduced-cue discrimation learning Performance of the females on delayed-response training was significantly superior to that of males, although rate of improvement with practice did not differentiate the sexes Hence, these findings confirm the superiority of female rhesus monkeys over male rhesus monkeys on spatial delayed- response performance The results also show a difference ofmore » a similar nature on reduced-cue discrimination performance, a task incorporating elements of both object quality discrimination and delayed-response prcblems These results provide added evidence for the need to evaluate the sex factor before generalization of the results of any learning study involving monkeys of both sexes (BBB)« less
