The monkeys were tested one at a time and had 12 disks to spend in each experiment. Jake always showed the monkeys one apple piece, while Allison always showed two pieces. But that39。 Researchers recently taught six monkeys how to use money. They gave the monkeys small metal disks(圓片) that could be used like cash and showed them some yummy apple pieces.
