To determine whether chimpanzees are more likely to delaygratification for a cooked food reward than they are for a raw food reward,cognition researchers Felix Warneken and Alexandra Rosati conducted anexperiment comparing chimpanzees' decisions in two situations: a"raw-delay" condition and a "cooked-delay" condition. Inthe raw-delay condition, Warneken and Rosati offered the chimpanzees a choicebetween receiving a piece of raw food immediately or waiting for one minute toreceive three pieces of raw food; the researchers tested 60 chimpanzees in theraw-delay condition. In the cooked-delay condition, in which the chimpanzees couldreceive one piece of raw food immediately or wait one minute for three piecesof cooked food, they chose the larger, delayed reward approximately 85 percentof the time.
