Are you smarter than Ayumu the chimp?
Jump to Comments
Last month Ayumu and five other chimpanzees made the news because of their outstanding cognitive performance. They even beat out college students in their tests. The results of the study was reported in Current Biology, “Working memory of numerals in chimpanzees.”
If you don’t believe me check out the video of Ayumu rocking the test:
Very impressive performance. Luminosity Games has remade Ayumu’s game. If you wanna try to see if you’re any better than Ayumu, give it a shot here. I’m not very good at the game.

After reading this i found the memory game on http://games.lumosity.com/chimp.html i have been scoring from 7-9 consistantly. A documentary i just watched said that this has not been seen in humans?
Perhaps a trip to japan is in order? lol.

yea, the game is very easy
But you are not some sort of genius if you can score great. I average a 10 game so why am I here?

Most of the time I scored 2 or 3. I know why I’m here and not in Japan showing off.
