| Question | Answer |
| three contextual studies of GandG | whether animals communicate or not debate (bee waggle dance) chimp with lexigram- Chomsky Bryan in 1963 |
| define communication | passage of info. from 1 individual or group to another involving signals (sounds/symbols) that themselves are meaningless but when organised into combinations-infinate number of messages |
| can animals communicate or not debate? | yes- bee waggle dance. tell one another the direction in which they got the pollen by waggling taking into account the sun moving 1 degree every four minutes |
| teaching a chimp a language using a lexigram | electric keyboard of symbols-lexigram, asked a chimp to point at a word and he did, including 'noodles' 'good' 'lemonade' |
| what did Chomsky argue? | 1957, humans have special part of our brain meaning we are programmed to learn a language, unique to humans therefore animals are incapable of learning a language |
| Bryan | 1963, chimps have diff vocal apparatus to us- only used when extremely happy or stressed. therefore unethical to teach a chimp a verbal language- hence ASL |
| why were chimps chosen? | due to them being highly intelligent and social creatures, being known to have good relationships with humans and being good with their hands. |
| GandG aims | aimed to see if a chimp could learn ASL and to bring him up as though he was a deaf child in order for language to be acquired naturally. |
