Any source? Edit: Answering myself: https://gwern.net/doc/algernon/2009-silberberg.pdf However, * we see no videos of the two men doing the test. Notice how the ape barely looks at the task, while the men maybe were highly concentrated. * The men had the goal to improve and beat the ape, the ape probably did not have that goal. * The men created the circumstances themself, so it may be possible the knowingly or unknowingly gave themself better conditions than the ape. * The men did up to 2500 units of training, it is unknown how much the ape got. * We can see that the ape does nine numbers in some tests, the men did just five. * the men propably relied on language to learn the task, the ape did not. So, this is quite a flawed study too. | ||
