Chimpanzee Memory Test
Play and try to beat the chimp: games.lumosity.com (I’m not affiliated with that site) What really sets us apart from our cousins? Our wonderful memory? No, not that, either. This video illustrates that our ape cousins far exceed us in short term memory recall skills. A chimp is shown memorizing numbers with remarkable accuracy at lightning speed. An amazing bit of footage from the National Geographic documentary “Human Ape”. More Information: ► news.bbc.co.uk ► channel.nationalgeographic.com Citation: Inoue, S. and Matsuzaka, T., (2007).

That isnt true.
Jakbym kurwa codziennie musiał napierdalać takie testy za stejka, to też bym nakurwiał to jak ten szympans…
took me probly 20 – 40 tries I got stuck on 7 for like 10 but then I hit 8 and the round after 9
I finally beat that damn monkey… I could see how it would get better fast not that its any less impressive but no need to exaggerate
this is the most awesome channel ever
Please stop perpetuating bullshit.
we us most of our brain but we can only use 10% at a time
@Originadmin Probably not… He just hits one immediately and he can do them all no problem… Even if you did it a billion times you’d still have to study it longer.
repetition … I prob could get that good if i did that 1000000x
Your asinine simian countenance alludes that your fetid stench has anulled the anthropoid ape species diversity.
squeaky bum time for the creationists.
My guess is that since this amazing animals have as task to do what the cientists tell them to do, they can focus their minds alot more in that single task. For humans, this might be a little bit harder because we have so much in mind at that moment that we find it alot harder. I’m not a cientists nor a chimp teacher. That is just my idea.
Was the docter actually hitting the Chimp’s cranium with his elbow WTF?
I dont think so. I watched the original program on tv a few months ago and it made clear not one human on earth can do what this chimp can..not even close to it. Has this experiment been carried out on human babies ?
HOW CAN A CHIMP DO THIS AND NOT EVEN ONE HUMAN CAN ? Cumon, serious and intelligent answers please.
You should blame your parents.
You can’t blame any aspect of culture for this. It’s just human genetics.
I blame hip hop & reality television.
and i wonder if you took an older chimp out of the wild if it would be this good. maybe we should start giving chimps more complex shit to do and see if they can figure it out. just give them treats when they’re right. maybe in the end they would be able to figure out things that we couldn’t
i bet if you trained a baby to do this somehow, it would be just as good if not better than the chimp.
It’s in the description.
