| COGNITIVE Savage-Rumbaugh (1986) Chimp Language | Aim: To investigate the language acquisition capacity of a pygmy chimpanzee and to contrast it with common chimpanzees. |
| PP's: Kanzi 2.5 years + Mulika (Pygmy chimps) Austin + Sherman (Common chimps) | Method: Longitudinal study with a combination of observations and experiments, mainly with Kanzi. |
| Kanzi and Mulika were exposed to using the lexigram when their mother was trying to be taught. | All apes symbol usage was recorded automatically via computer when indoors and by hand when outside. |
| Tests of language: Spontaneous use 9/10 times. Formal lab tests- Photo to lexigram. Spoken to photo. | Spoken to lexigram. Computer to lexigram. |
| Results: Kanzi acquired 47 words and produced 2540 combinations of words. 80% of combinations made were spontaneous. | Austin and Sherman struggled matching spoken to photos where as Kanzi and Mulika made few mistakes at all. |
| Conclusions: Non-humans have linguistic abilities similar to humans. It is difficult to generalize as only 4 chimps were studied | Kanzi's language acquisition indicates that linguistic development in pygmy chimps mirrors that of humans. |
