Chimpances and Language
In the past, there were some history about ani-
mals experiment that look for to teach human
language.
For this reason, the scientist began to research with
chimpazees, there were 2 chimpanzees that were elect-
ed for the experiment, viki and washoe.
The experiment was that the viki chimpazees lived
for 5 years ago with a scientist. They showed a viki
some words that viki got very poor.
The cause was that viki did not developed her
articulation. And she could say short phrases
like: papa, mama or cup.
In others
research, the
scientists made
others experiment
with other
chimpazees, but
they always had
the same result.
