Not sure why this old research is being recirculated now, but the framing about it reflecting the fact that humans gave up part of our cortex is #neurobollocks. It's a training effect. Yes, chimps are smart, but undergraduates can do this too with a bit of training.https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1213860120058220546 …
Colin, interesting insight. How do you propose the correlation to precise area of the chimpanzees brain, when impaired loses short term memory. That area is equivalent to Broca, Wernike and the phonological loop. I would love to read your research on this.

It's not clear what research finding you're referring to here. Are you making a claim about the effect of lesioning an area of a chimpanzee's brain after it's been trained to perform the task in the video?

Colin, thanks for asking. This research has been performed and other memory tasks. Thus it seems a reasonable hypnosis to connect our memory deficit to the development of the phonological loop.
