問題詳情:
In a special center in Florida, a capuchin monkey (捲尾猴) is born. It is named Winston, and it will be trained to be a Helping Hands monkey. Helping Hands is a program that trains monkeys to be helpers for quadriplegics (四肢癱瘓者).
Winston's preparation begins soon after its birth when it is placed with a foster (代養的) family. The foster family spends a lot of time hugging Winston. This close human contact (接觸) is important to help it develop a strong attachment to people.
Winston already has a lot of characteristics that will be useful to quadriplegics. Like humans, Winston has hands and it can pick up something as small as a piece of thread. It has a tail that it can use to carry objects, hold on to things, and keep its balance. Monkeys such as Winston are also intelligent and they learn the same way human babies do. Being reared in a human environment will make Winston a better pupil when its real training begins.
When Winston is four years old, the foster family must return it to the training center. At the center, Winston has a patient trainer named Lisa. First she teaches Winston to fetch. She always uses the same combination of words when she wants it to perform a particular task. Each time it obeys her command, Lisa gives it a grape. Winston learns that it will get a reward if it exhibits the correct response.
After six months Winston can put a videotape into the VCR. It can go to the refrigerator, get its owner a drink, and pick up anything that is dropped. It is ready to work in the home of a quadriplegic.
