Chimpanzees have a better working memory than humans!

Earlier I read @mmk's post about dinosaur intelligence and it made me wonder how, if dinosaurs were as intelligent as chimpanzees, how their intelligence might differ. It reminded me of this documentary I watched once, thankfully Youtube has a short clip ⬇️

It shows how, even though the chimpanzee is much less intelligent than humans, they have a far greater working memory than humans. They clip shows how the average chimpanzees tested always outperformed the average humans tested, in a simple memory test.

I can also confirm this because I have a terrible working memory 😅 and anyone who has spent sone time at Start The Game will remember how terrible I was at the working memory levels of the game Lumosity. 

What is really interesting here I think is the point that different animals excel at different things, even with different levels of intelligence measured. We assume we are far more advanced than the chimp but here they are with an amazing ability we cannot master. 

I wonded what abilities dinosaurs might have had then, with similar intelligence to the chimpanzee.
