On the working memory of humans and great apes: Strikingly similar or remarkably different? 2022 Access copy available to the general public Unrestricted In this article we review publications relevant to addressing widely reported claims in both the academic and popular press that chimpanzees working memory (WM) is comparable to, if not exceeding, that of humans. WM is a complex multidimensional construct with strong parallels in humans to prefrontal cortex and cognitive development. These parallels occur in chimpanzees, but to a lesser degree. We review empirical evidence and conclude that the size of WM in chimpanzees is 2 ± 1 versus Miller''s famous 7 ± 2 in humans. Comparable differences occur in experiments on chimpanzees relating to strategic and attentional WM subsystems. Regardless of the domain, chimpanzee WM performance is comparable to that of humans around the age of 4 or 5. Next, we review evidence showing parallels among the evolution of WM capacity in hominins ancestral to Homo sapiens, the phylogenetic evolution of hominins leading to Homo sapiens, and evolution in the complexity of stone tool technology over this time period. © 2021 The Author(s) info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 8.2 2022 NEUROSCIENCES 25 / 272 = 0.092 2022 Q1 T1 BEHAVIORAL SCIENCES 3 / 52 = 0.058 2022 Q1 T1 2.599 2022 Behavioral Neuroscience 2022 Q1 Neuropsychology and Physiological Psychology 2022 Q1 Cognitive Neuroscience 2022 Q1 13.4 2022 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Marín Manrique, H.
