I'm not sure I have a good sense of what mental tasks require 2nd order cognition - what are some examples of the tasks that you saw?

  thinking abstractly or indirectly — thinking about thinking

    Thanks. That is exactly what I meant. I was busy writing up some research today and didn't make my way back here to answer.

      I'm still curious how you'd design a task that requires "thinking about thinking" and give it to chimpanzees, given that they don't have language. It's a useful restatement, but do you have an example you could share please?

    That's, uhh, a restatement of the concept, not an example of a task that requires the concept.
