Cognitive development was compared between humans and nonhuman primates. The main target was the chimpanzees that shared the latest common ancestor with humans. The study revealed the new fact that young chimpanzees have the better working memory than adult humans. Chimpanzees are living in the world of here and now. In contrast, humans often think about the past before the birth and the future after the death. We can be sympathetic to the people who are suffering in a remote place. In sum, the power of imagination is uniquely human.

比较了人类和非人类灵长类动物之间的认知发展。主要目标是黑猩猩与人类共享最新的共同祖先。该研究揭示了一个新事实，即年轻的黑猩猩比成年人的工作记忆更好。黑猩猩生活在现在和现在的世界中。相比之下，人类经常考虑出生前的过去和死亡后的未来。我们可以同情在偏远地区遭受苦难的人们。总而言之，想象力是人类的独特之处。
