Chimps beat humans in memory test


Restatement summary


Chimpanzees have an extraordinary photographic memory that is far superior to human.


First of all, chimps outperformed university students in menory test devised by Japanese scientists. Furthermore, chimpanzees at the age of five have a better performance in a memory task than humans. Researchers believe that young chimps have a photographic memory. This menmory allows them to memorise a complex scene or pattern at a glance. However Dr. Lisa Parr described research as "ground - breaking"


To sum up, the studies show that elaborate short - term memory skills may have had a much more salient function in early humans than is present in modern human.
