Default Chimps make chumps of university students in memory tests

Young chimpanzees were able to outperform university students in short-term memory tests, a team of Japanese researchers reported Monday.
Scientists from the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University taught three five-year-old chimpanzees and their mothers the sequence of the numbers one through nine, then matched them up against human adults in two short-term memory tests. In both cases, the chimps won.
