@Slapster - Don't get your tutu in a bunch, I'm pretty sure I didn't say the "furniture" MADE you gay. I think I said if you were gay or twelve or stoned you "might" find that item something less then a utter waste of money and space.
The problem is that Behavioral Science tends to be species specific. Although there is a limited amount of overlap, so that in some cases it can be said that if species A does X under Stimulus Y, then Species B can be expected to do the same, in most higher functions (reasoning, emotion, social interaction) studying Chimps and then applying those results to human smacks of Anthropomorphism.
So...I don't really see where the payback is for the money spent on finding out that chimps can be distracted by shiny pictures and therefore end up with more candy (doesn't really apply much to real chimp life or anything at all in human life - although with American public education in the dumpster, perhaps the distracted by shiny photo's info could be used).
Of course how stupid do you have to be not to be able to tell when it's ok to throw away a mistake.
Boy, that Judge Judy DOES have a hard job.
