Work Memory Test: Chimpanzees Best Humans

I've done a variety of this working memory test many, many times on Lumosity. It's tough, as the human in this video shows. But watch how Ayumu, a chimpanzee, just sails through it with 90% accuracy. Her buddies aren't quite as good as her, but on average best humans.

Another example of differences in intelligence between species that we might not expect.

  2. I remember that research of Professor Tetsuro Matsuzawa at Tokyo University ...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zsXP8qeFF6A ... Interresting was that Professor Tetsuro argues that maybe Humans are on the top of food chain because our ability to manipulate abstract symbols and share information (language).

  3. What I live about this, Zara Altair​, is how smoothly she just breezes through the numbers. Almost like moving through the branches of trees. Totally present.

    That's for sharing.
