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, 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.

Seems like a good paper to me, and there's nothing wrong with them wanting to disprove the strong claim made by Inoue & Matsuzawa. That's how science works. In any case, if you don't like that paper, here's another one: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Alan_Silberberg/publication/23712278_Memory_for_the_order_of_briefly_presented_numerals_in_humans_as_a_function_of_practice/links/5760233808ae244d0370970c/Memory-for-the-order-of-briefly-presented-numerals-in-humans-as-a-function-of-practice.pdf …

Colin, thank you. Very familiar with this paper. It uses the 2009 research of 10 memory units. The later work is with 20 memory units. They tried to test humans to this level and failed. So they simply element back to where humans equaled the result.
