Urging bored friends to keep playing
with you is not limited to humans. A gorilla (大猩猩) that wants to continue a game
will also try to do this, and will even deliberately lose if necessary. This
hints that gorillas may have "theory of mind"--the capacity to attribute mental
states to others. Richard Byrne and Joanne Tanner of St. Andrews University in the UK videoed gorillas at San Francisco Zoo. As well as engaging with a toy and another gorilla, the animals seemed aware of how their playmate was interacting with the toy. "The gorillas could encourage their playmates when they were losing interest by losing the game, if necessarily," says Byrne. This is the first time animals have been observed following a playmate’s interaction with a third object a skill picked up by humans at 9 months old. If you thought your pet dog does this, you’re wrong. A. persuade his friends to keep playing with him B. prove his "theory of mind" C. attribute mental states to others D. continue the game with his partners [单项选择]Urging bored friends to keep playing with you is not limited to humans.
