The humans are easier to train to do a task a certain way. Which probably makes them better employees.
This must be the background data on the recent Fox News impeachment poll.
The monkey believes the point is to earn a banana; the human believes the point is to help researchers.
bttt
All that proves is that monkeys will cheat any chance they get........Never trust a monkey
Volition could be considered the consequence of a weighted sum of competing urges. Among them in people, unlike monkeys, would be a desire to follow the rules for their own sake.
I’ve run into a few cheating Monkeys during my Lifetime.
They were the most fun, that’s for sure.
We’re supposed to starve the monkeys, not give them banana pellets.
I also wonder how the results would differ if the humans got banana pellets as a reward too...
The monkeys have no moral compass.
They also throw poop...
Marijuana edibles...
It is more difficult to un-learn something that it was to learn it in the first place..............
It just shows monkeys are less set in their ways than humans. Once a human gets into a habit its very tough to change. Democrat voters are a prime example.
I think I’d try harder for a banana pellet than an ‘auditory whoop.’
Who knew Mickey Dolenz was an accomplished online gamer?
Someone who has over a hundred browser tabs open as a matter of routine is another.
Although shown the task manager with the CPU pegged at 100 percent and turtle slow speed, I might as well not be even in the same room.
I would imagine that just about any monkey could beat me at computer games. Spatial problems or games are very difficult for me, though I’m pretty intelligent in most other ways. Not only do I not do well in those sorts of problems, video games of the most elementary content increase anxiety in me, so I don’t find them the least bit enjoyable.
The monkeys also don't feel any social pressure to please anyone or do something the "right" way.
Food or a whoop. Food or a whoop. Hmmm, which could possibly increase the learning curve?
Ever walk through a jail? Sub-humans throw poop, too.
