A task that tests attention and short-term memory is matching to sample. Monkeys are most typically used for these tasks, although other species are also capable of learning them. In a nonspatial matching-to-sample task, for example, the animal is presented with a stimulus (color, pattern, or object) that is then withdrawn. Following this, a set of stimuli is presented, and the animal indicates which of these is identical in some dimension to the sample stimulus. Delays of various durations may be instituted between the presentation of the sample and test stimuli to test short-term memory. Such tasks have been found to be sensitive to effects produced by lead in monkeys who were exposed to it in early life.
