Familiarity, Active Memory And Pressure During A Delayed Matching-To-Sample Task In Tufted Capuchin Monkeys (Sapajus [Cebus] Apella) [PDF]
Delayed matching-to-sample (DMTS) tasks are commonly used in the field of comparative cognition to study memory, including working memory. However, specific task demands vary across studies and species, and as such, DMTS tasks may engage different memory
