Ayumu born in 2000 is a chimpanzee currently living at the Primate Research Institute of Kyoto University . He is the son of chimpanzee Ai , and has been a participant since infanthood in the Ai Project , an ongoing research effort aimed at understanding chimpanzee cognition. As part of the Ai Project, Ayumu participated in a series of short term memory tasks on a touch sensitive computer screen. His performance in the tasks was superior to that of comparably trained university students, leading to a conclusion that young chimpanzees have better eidetic memory than adult humans. ref http web.archive.org web 20080609101803 http edition.cnn.com 2007 TECH science 12 03 chimp.memory.ap index.html 5 year old chimp beats college kids in computer game CNN.com Bot generated title ref References Reflist DEFAULTSORT Ayumu Chimpanzee Category Famous chimpanzees Category 2000 animal births primate stub ... more details

unreferenced date February 2011 Loulis born May 10, 1978 is a chimpanzee who has learned to communicate in American Sign Language. Loulis was named for two caregivers Louise and Lisa at the Yerkes Regional Primate Research Center in Atlanta, Georgia, where he was born. After ten months at Yerkes, Loulis was transferred to Oklahoma with Roger Fouts and Washoe chimpanzee Washoe , his adoptive mother. In 1980, the family moved to Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington. By 1993, the Chimpanzee and Human Communication Institute CHCI was built for the family to reside. Loulis s biological mother remained at Yerkes and was used for medical research. Washoe and 3 other chimpanzees Tatu, Dar, and Moja were raised as deaf human children and acquired American Sign Language . The chimpanzees regularly use the hand signals to communicate with each other and humans. Loulis is the only chimpanzee in the family who was not cross fostered he wasn t raised by humans but rather Washoe and the other chimpanzees . After eight days with Washoe, Loulis learned his first sign. For the first five years of his life, Loulis s human handlers only used seven signs around him the signs used were who , which , want , where , name , that , and sign . Loulis was able to acquire the use of ASL from Washoe. The details of this research can be found in Teaching Sign Language to Chimpanzees edited by Allen and Beatrix Gardner.

She was given speech therapy , which involved the Hayeses her adoptees manipulating her lower jaw. Eventually, she was able to voice four words mama papa up cup This extremely limited success was at first interpreted as evidence that apes were not capable of using human language. However, further experiments in which chimpanzees were instructed in the use of American sign language indicated that Viki s achievements had been significantly hampered by physiological limitations chimpanzees are not able to produce the sounds that make up human speech.

Wikify date December 2010 Gua was a chimpanzee raised as though it were a human child by scientists Winthrop N. Kellogg and Luella A. Kellogg alongside their son Donald. Gua and Donald were raised as brother and sister. In tests Gua often tested ahead of Donald in reading and understanding. Slight differences in their placement included people recognition. Gua recognized people from their clothes and their smell while Donald recognized them by their faces. The parting difference came with language. Donald was about 16 months and Gua was a little over a year old when they had language testing. Gua could not speak, but Donald could form words. When Donald began to copy Gua s sounds the experiment ended. On March 28, 1932, nine months into it the Kelloggs officially ended the experiment. Gua was returned to the primate center with Dr. Robert Mearns Yerkes in Florida. References W.N. Kellogg and L.A.

XXI . LANA project The researchers stated Lana showed that she could discriminate between lexigrams, sequence words grammatically and make novel utterances, demonstrating language learning. The first LANA project 1971 officially had two Principal Investigators, Rumbaugh and Ernst von Glasersfeld cf. NIH grants HD 06016 and RR 00165 . Ernst von Glasersfeld developed the language that Lana learned to use he coined the term lexigram , created the first 120 of them and designed the grammar that regulated their combination. This artificial language was called Yerkish , in honor of Robert M. Yerkes , the founder of the laboratory within which the LANA project was conceived and conducted. The early project also had several graduate student researchers. The prime researcher, and the prime worker with Lana was Dr. Timothy V. Gill.

Enos died November 4, 1962 was the first chimpanzee that was launched into Earth orbit. Enos was purchased from the Miami Rare Bird Farm on April 3, 1960. He completed more than 1,250 hours of training for his mission at the University of Kentucky and Holloman United States Air Force Air Force Base. His training was more intense than that of Ham the Chimp Ham , the Americans first chimp in space, because Enos would be exposed to weightlessness and a higher g force g for longer periods of time. His training included psychomotor training and aircraft flights. Enos was selected to make the first orbital animal flight only three days before the launch. Two months before allowing a chimp to be launched into orbit, NASA had launched Mercury Atlas 4 on September 13, 1961, to conduct the same mission with a crewman simulator in the spacecraft. Enos flew into space on board Mercury Atlas 5 on November 29, 1961.
