Restatement sumarry
Three pairs of mother and baby chimpanzees and university students were tested in memory tests which were made-up by Japanese scientists.
Before tests chimps had already been taught to "count" from one to nine. During the experiment, each subject was asked to look into the monitor in which numbers were shown for a short time and when the numbers were replaced with blank squares, touch them in appropriate order.Scientists found that young chimps showed better results than their mothers and university students.
Dr Liza Pair said that this happened because of our increasing reliance on language-based memory skills.
