is this the equivalent of counting? the answer is no. and if you know every number from 0 to 100 you're STILL not counting, you're merely reciting a list.
count: to determine the number or amount of
now if i say that the list above has 5 items, then i have counted. if i say '1 2 3 4 5' then i have not counted, which this monkey has done.
also, shame on you MidnightRayn for trolling the comments of this video
they call it counting but the idea is different. this is a failure of our language and there are a lot of other examples of this type of ambiguity. technically your idea of counting IS defined as one of the meanings of the word, but this is not the word which ought to be used when presenting data because to most people it suggests that these primates are actually comprehending amounts rather than sequences
@djancak I once saw researchers proving monkeys can actually count: a certain number of things appeared on the screen and they quickly clicked on the number representing the number of things appeared.
no they are related.. jesus christ somebody actually start looking this shit up people like me leave trails EVERYWHERE FUCKING READ YOU MONKEY!! HAHAHA
all the chimp has been taught is how to repeat a sequence which over a long period of time he has been able to put into memory by use of sound and food reinforcement, the same types of tricks you can teach other animals to do over time. The chimp is NOT COUNTING, the chimp is REPEATING PATTERNS.
all you idiots saying the monkey isn't counting are fucking stupid.. look it up you dumb fucks scientists spend their lives perfecting this shit to have you fucking morons talk shit like children.. look IT THE FUCK UP JESUS FUCKING CHRIST!!!!!!!!!!
This is a hoax and fraudulent news item trying to manipulate truth to the public into blindly accepting ape-human evolutionary theories. The chimp has no idea what numbers are or how to add random numbers, all he has been taught is how to repeat a sequence which over a long period of time he has been able to put into memory by use of sound and food reinforcement, the same types of tricks you can teach other animals to do over time. The chimp is NOT COUNTING, the chimp is REPEATING PATTERNS.
The FIRST task is learning and understanding the CONCEPTION that the symbols are ORDERED--a very high-level task: to a limited extent, these chimps can "READ!"
The second task is simply a test of short-term memory--which they perform BETTER than people.
That they can do this so FAST and so WELL demonstrates beyond any doubt that they have higher cognitive ability than people had expected before now.
i love that the chimp spams the start button at 1:56

if i memorize the sequence of a list of objects:
banana, apple, tree, grapes, dog

you are saying Reciting a list and memorizing what 1-9 isn't counting? This is what you do in preschool btw and it is considered counting.

Premise:
count == to determine the number or amount of
count =/= iterate a list of objects

Chimpanzees didn't invent humans, we are related because we both share a common ancestor.

maxtube22,
The chimp is not counting--that's not the task.
The FIRST task is learning and understanding the CONCEPTION that the symbols are ORDERED--a very high-level task: to a limited extent, these chimps can "READ!"
The second task is simply a test of short-term memory--which they perform BETTER than people.
