In a study of the cognitive abilities of white-faced

capuchin monkeys (Cebus imitator), researchers

neglected to control for the physical difficulty of the

tasks they used to evaluate the monkeys. The

cognitive abilities of monkeys given problems

requiring little dexterity, such as sliding a panel to

retrieve food, were judged by the same criteria as

were those of monkeys given physically demanding

problems, such as unscrewing a bottle and inserting a

straw. The results of the study, therefore, ______


Which choice most logically completes the text?

A) could suggest that there are differences in

cognitive ability among the monkeys even

though such differences may not actually exist.

B) are useful for identifying tasks that the monkeys

lack the cognitive capacity to perform but not for

identifying tasks that the monkeys can perform.

C) should not be taken as indicative of the cognitive

abilities of any monkey species other than

C. imitator.
