Monkey winner of the memory test in higher animals Research Institute in Kyoto
Japanese scientists announced they verified win chimpanzees b «memory» the mental capacity of the university students! The researchers have put Karoda of young chimpanzees a number of adult students from universities in the game for tests in memory, and said that chimpanzees, who was 5 years won!
The Ttsoro Matsuzawa, a researcher at Kyoto University, who led the study results «challenge the prevailing beliefs that the human superior to the monkey». He said in a statement on the study, carried out with his colleague Sana Inoue, was quoted by «Asyoshitd Press», that «no one was to imagine that chimpanzees, chimpanzees, but rather the young age of 5 years, has the best performance in memory tasks compared to the human being».
Matsuzawa said the pilot studies in intellectual capacities, chimpanzees, he was surprised by the results, published yesterday in the journal «Karin biological» specialized in biology. And included a memory test in which three of the monkeys age of 5 years, and about 12 volunteers of people, studied a series of Arabic numerals between 1 and 9. Participants considered the nine figures before the computer, once they are found to become the first No. figures to eight other white boxes on the screen.
The task was to be found requiring that all those boxes and a series of figures that have emerged since the beginning.
The test showed that monkeys were faster than humans, although they were not accurate as is the case with volunteer participants. And more than a monkey named «Oayumo» Ayumu, therefore, the researchers him to a group of university students 9 to conduct a second test. In this new test offered only 5 digits on the screen for easy replaced by white squares, and the task, as in the first test, the boxes are touched by the sequence of numbers.
The results showed that the figures presented to the seven-tenths of a second, the «Oayumo» and university students succeeded in the mission by up to about 80 per cent. However, with the figures at a four-tenths of a second, only two tenths of a second or, the monkey became a hero a winner.
The monkey had success winning 80 per cent to 40 per cent of university students. The researchers said «Oayumo» seems better reception in all figures in the view of one, compared to the human being.
Commented Elisabeth Onsdorv, director of the Lester Fisher of the study and protection of monkeys in the zoo Chicago in the United States, which strongly impressed by a monkey «Oayumo» after I saw the tape visible
