    Consider: millions of years ago our antecedents gave a massive sacrifice of their left hemisphere. We lost a tremendous amount of short term memory and replaced it with Broca’s, Wernicke & the phonological loop. But why? So we can—talk. Thus chimpanzees can do this—we can’t:pic.twitter.com/CDznxg37p1

        Every animal has a limited amount of brain power and size, so every skill and talent has an opportunity cost. This is not controversial or particularly questioned. The Cognitive Tradeoff hypothesis is about tradeoffs apparent between chimpanzees and human.pic.twitter.com/FzChpI1oDM

        In 1956 "The Magical Number Seven, Plus or Minus Two: Some Limits on Our Capacity for Processing Information” by George A. Miller of Harvard University was published. It was a landmark of human memory research. Bell Labs adopted memory chunking in phone numbers (xxx)-xxx-xxxxpic.twitter.com/SDsB22DRNu

        Consider Kim Peek. He had a skill that would surpass the abilities of the chimpanzees. He had suffered damage through encephalitis to the corpus colosseum. I wrote about him here on Quora: https://www.quora.com/Is-the-ability-to-observe-many-things-at-once-a-documented-human-phenomenon/answer/Brian-Roemmele?ch=10&share=0c808fa3&srid=Pi3 … You may know him: His name was Rain Man in a popular movie.pic.twitter.com/77rhdkiN5P

        This chimpanzee research was performed for over 30 years by Tetsuro Matsuzawa, PhD, Distinguished Professor, Kyoto University Institute for Advanced Study, Professor, Primate Research Institute of Kyoto University, Coordinator. There is much to his work.https://www.matsuzawa.kyoto/cv/en/

        Can we not do that, seems like something you could train for over the course of a few months?

        David, we have been doing this research for 75 years. There has yet to be a human candidate that could come close to the average chimp in these tests.

        It's a practice effect though. It turns out that people do even better than monkeys given similar training.https://doi.org/10.3758/PBR.17.4.599 …

        Brad, that paper was discredited by 30 years of research at this university. Here are some of the 1000s of studies—with “trained” humans. https://langint.pri.kyoto-u.ac.jp/ai/index.html

        No. We absolutely can do this. Those chimps were trained every day for years and beat uneducated humans with no training. When the same experiment was done with educated humans who were trained for a small fraction of the time the chimps were, the humans outperforned the chimps.

        Avi, interesting insights. I think this is not a fair insight on the 30 years of research Tetsuro Matsuzawa, PhD, Distinguished Professor, Kyoto University Institute for Advanced Study, I am very certain the professor would love to address your ideas.https://www.matsuzawa.kyoto/cv/en/
