The delayed nonmatching-to-sample task has been extensively used in the assessment of explicit object-recognition deficits in monkeys. In this task, a monkey is shown an object, then after a delay, must choose the novel object out of two choices. Impairments in object recognition can be measured by the ability to correctly choose the novel object. The other options listed are all tasks commonly used in cognitive research with monkeys, but they do not specifically assess object-recognition deficits.
