Compared to chimps our short term memory is crap.

Watched a video of a Japanese researcher showing a video picture of symbols to a chimp which then faded away within a few seconds.

I then got a food treat if it could recall the pattern on the touch screen - on the more difficult levels it had to also remember the sequence of the patterns as well.

Chimps always won against a human.
