In the delayed non-matching-to-sample task in monkeys, the subject must identify an unfamiliar object in a pair of objects. They are shown one object (the sample) and then presented with two objects later on. One of the objects is the same as the sample, while the other is a novel object. The subject must then choose the novel object, indicating that they remember the sample and recognize that it is not the same as either of the two objects presented later.
