According
to a new research chimps at the Kyoto University Primate Research
Institute consistently outperform humans in simple contests drawn from
game theory.
The
research headed by Colin Camerer, Robert Kirby Professor of Behavioral
Economics, has discovered that in a simple game of hide-and-seek that
researchers call the Inspection game, performance of the chimps was far
more remarkable. Additionally known that they learned the game
instantaneously and nearly attained the predictions of the Nash theorem
for optimal play, while humans known to have played reasonably well with
gradual progress in learning to predict opponent preferences yet didn't
play optimally.
The
researchers explained that the chimpanzee performed outstanding due to
excellent short – term memory, which happens to be a precise potency in
chimps. The research was published online in Scientific reports. -
