Chimps Striking Intelligence Exceeded Humans


Chimps striking intelligence exceeded humans


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. -  (ANI)
