- svnt 3y agoIn that video the chimp beats one human who thought he was smart but appears particularly bad at that test. They are different tests, though. You don’t need sequential memory to win that test, you just need near photographic recall and the general knowledge of numerical order.

- mortureb 3y agoOh please, with the sequence flashing for microseconds I would wager 90% of humans wouldn’t be able to beat that chimp.
- svnt 3y agoI don’t disagree with you, but that’s not what the video showed.
- tomjakubowski 3y ago> just need near photographic recall and the general knowledge of numerical order. oh yeah it's way less impressive if chimps just have near photographic recall and general knowledge of numeric order
- svnt 3y agoI’m simply noting it is a different category than sequential memory and does not constitute a rebuttal of the conclusion of the linked paper.
