Popis: | In cross-fostering, the young of one species are reared by adults of another. In our cross-fostering laboratory, two-way communication by means of American Sign Language (ASL) brought the rearing conditions for chimpanzees much closer to those of human children than was possible in earlier studies. At the same time, ASL provided a means by which chimpanzees could express their intelligence in ways that permit closer comparisons with human children. |
