> While the between-species performance difference they report is apparent in their data, so too is a large difference in practice on their task: Ayumu had many sessions of practice on their task before terminal performances were measured; their human subjects had none. The present report shows that when two humans are given practice in the Inoue and Matsuzawa (2007) memory task, their accuracy levels match those of Ayumu.

Hmm.

So? If I write something down as a child and forget it I can come back 60 years later and know what I wrote down.

Chimpanzees can not.

The question was whether there are animals who have better memory than humans. I named one: humans are not superior to animals in all cognitive capabilities.

See Nathan's response. They trained the chimp and threw the humans in blind against them.

Like I said, so close as to be almost immeasurable.
