And lastly, “All chimpanzees had extensive experience with cognitive tasks using a touch screen²³ and some of the experiments included auditory cues as a discriminative stimulus^31,32,33. Studies on social interactions between chimpanzees have also been conducted under various experimental setups^{34,35,36,37,38}.”
