Monkey beats college students in computer game

A young chimp beat college students in computer “game”.

Think you're smarter than a fifth-grader? How about a 5-year-old chimp?

Japanese researchers pitted young chimps against human adults in tests of short-term memory, and overall, the chimps won.

One memory test included three 5-year-old chimps who'd been taught the order of Arabic numerals 1 through 9, and a dozen human volunteers.

They saw nine numbers displayed on a computer screen. When they touched the first number, the other eight turned into white squares. The test was to touch all these squares in the order of the numbers that used to be there.

Results showed that the chimps, while no more accurate than the people, could do this faster.
