I remember reading / seeing an experiment performed with chimps that seemed to show that they could hold a higher number of objects in their mind at any one time than humans can.<br> <br> I remember seeing them tapping on numbered buttons when objects were flashed in front of them. Humans perfomed less well on the same task at higher speeds and numbers.<br> <br> Know this experiment?<br> <br> How about ANY OTHER similar resulting experiments?<br> <br> Thanks a lot tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.37838 Tue, 09 May 2006 01:10:49 -0800 animals biology brain chimps cognition consciousness evolution experiment human nature neurology numbers research thought 0bvious http://ask.metafilter.com/32102/Where%2Dto%2Dget%2Dthe%2Dchimpy%2Dlove Where can I love chimps? It's been a lifelong fantasy of mine to spend a day playing with chimpanzees. Is this a possibility?
