The December 3rd edition of Newsweek has an article about a Japanese study in which chimps (at least young chimps) scored better on tests of short term memory than did college students. It would be interesting to know how chimp brains processed this memory as opposed to human brains - I wonder if it would be possible to do a functional MRI scan during a test like this?
