1. How Does Evolution Design a Brain Capable of Learning Language?

Author

Savage-Rumbaugh, E. Sue

Abstract

Discusses methods of assessing language comprehension in apes. Considers the possible effect of brain physiology on the differences between productive and receptive language skills. Examines the possibility that differences between synaptic transmission and volume transmission, or transmission across extracellular spaces, of neurological impulses in the brain may affect the integrative learning capacities of humans and apes.

2. Language Comprehension in Ape and Child.

Author

Savage-Rumbaugh, E. Sue

Abstract

A two-year-old child and an eight-year-old bonobo exposed to spoken English and lexigrams from infancy were asked to respond to novel sentences. Both subjects comprehended novel requests and simple syntactic devices. The bonobo decoded the syntactic device of word recursion more accurately than the child; the child performed better than the bonobo on the conjunctive device. (BC)
