To be more accurate, the children should be starved before administered the test. This way, the factor of them wanting to play is replaced by the need for a gummy bear.

they didnt make it clear wether or not they had told the kids that their clear, objective was to get the gummy bear, and not just "repeat exactly as i do"

if you'd do this here, in asia, children would just throw the stick, flip the box, take it out

How do you know that you know?

Like she said at 3:10 The children view her as an experienced, trustworthy and reliable person. So they don't find the need to use their logic. They feel it right and safe to do exactly as told.
Whereas, the chimps don't completely trust her, nor care about learning or copying what she's doing. They just want the food. So they used their logic there.

Teaching each other is one of the LARGEST contributors to our status as the dominant species on this planet. I also HIGHLY disagree with the subjective opinion that the apes were "outsmarting" the children. The apes were driven by a simple motivation to acquire food while the children saw this as an exercise of learning, they took this as a lesson rather than just a hunt for a sweet morsel. The children were approaching this at a much deeper level than simply trying to abate hunger.

** The child is instructed to get the reward any way they can, then the experimenter leaves the room. The test is filmed. When the child is successful, they say "I have got it!" and the experimenter returns to the room and gives them their reward.
Descriptions bro..

Why? The chimps weren't starved, either. If anything, both needed to be starved.

this study is flawed. The children were probably told to copy the motions, but you can't tell that to a chimp.

Yeah, why bother reading the experiment parameters in the video description where it says "PLEASE READ THIS BEFORE COMMENTING", when you can just engage in bald assertions and wild speculation.
