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, 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.

Sorry, what research "has been performed"? What other memory tasks? Do you have a specific reference? What do you mean by "our memory deficit"? Students who have received training can perform the task in the video even better than chimps. Paper here: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.689.315&rep=rep1&type=pdf …

Colin, I will link to research when I get home. As for the paper you cite it was not trying to replicate but it was a student group that wanted to disprove. Thus have tainted their process. They never addressed the later research and ignored other findings at other universities.
