Chimps have been found to beat humans on this spatial memory test!
Can you beat the chimp? A recent study reveals that young chimps possess extraordinary abilities on this task; in fact, these chimps have even been found to outperform humans (Inoue & Matsuzawa, 2007). Check out the video to see for yourself. This is one of three five year-old chimps who, after previously being taught to count, was much more accurate than university students at recalling the positions of randomly located numbers on a touch screen.
