Testing primates with joystick-based automated apparatus: Lessons from the Language Research Center's Computerized Test System DAVIDA. WASHBURN and DUANE M. RUMBAUGH Sonny Carter Life Sciences Laboratory, Georgia State University, Atlanta, Georgia Nonhuman primates provide useful models for studying a variety of medical, biological, and behavioral topics. Four years ofjoystick-based automated testing of monkeys using the Language Research Center's Computerized Test System (LRC-CTS)are examined to derive hints and principles for comparable testing with other species-including humans. The results of multiple parametric studies are reviewed, and reliability data are presented to reveal the surprises and pitfalls associated with video-task testing of performance. Nonhuman primates are critical to many areas of scientific inquiry, providing an important model for the study of physiology, biomedicine, and psychology across species. In the present report, 4 years of research with rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) are examined to derive principles and caveats for joystick-based, automated testing with a variety of primate species-including humans. It is anticipated that the practical lessons gleaned from this experience will provide useful information for researchers establishing a computerized testing environment.
A CASE STUDY In the spring of 1987, a project was initiated at Georgia State University to develop a new testing paradigm for research and environmental enrichment with rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta) as subjects. Project scientists chose to abandon existing technology requiring simple operant responses to basic stimuli and to avoid the labor-intensivealbeit effective, flexible, and standard-Wisconsin General Test Apparatus and its revisions. The model that was selected for development, used in research with humans and apes, and borrowed from computer gaming technolOgy' required the manipulation of a joystick in response to computer-generated and -controlled stimuli. The test system that we developed is called the Language Research Center's Computerized Test System (LRC-CTS).
