| Research Abstract |
In humans, visual attention is distributed over a "ground" surface rather than "ceiling" or "wall" surfaces when we search for some objects and judge a distance between objects ("the ground dominance effect"). In this study, we examined whether chimpanzees show similar search strategy on the ground-like or the ceiling-like surfaces defined by pictorial depth cues. The findings indicate that in both chimpanzees and humans, a ground-like surface facilitated the search for objects on it.
