Chimp beating humans in memory task

The numbers are flashed briefly, and have to be recalled in numerical order. In each successive trial, the numbers are flashed for a briefer time.

In this task, the performance of the humans worsened with each successive trial; the performance of this chimp remains consistent throughout.

By the way, if anyone from lumosity is reading this, I am still waiting for my treats.

I always knew chimps were smarter than us. This proves it. I say we grant them civil liberties.

No, but I got there via a link. I think maybe it was from a site called "10 top websites for brain training", you can just google or bing it.

Do i have to pay to join lumosity

[defranx]

I tried this game at lumosity site. I got eight of ten correct - same as the chimps average. WOOHOOOO! I'M AS SMART AS A CHIMP! I only got the first two attempts wrong though, and some adaptation time is expected when performing a new task. Guess I would recover pretty quick if i fell out of a tree.

It's funny what you can accomplish when getting fed depends on whether you get it right or not. ANY HUMAN could be as efficient if it was the only way you got to eat!! Inhumane!
