That is wild! Blows my mind that the researchers didn't even know ASL and basically taught a word away to sign exact words. All I've ever heard was that she could communicate everything and want like every other animal that learned steps to get treats.
Really flies in the face of what I was taught through textbooks
Feels like most things we learn about later in life...
That is depressing to hear after everything I thought I knew bout Koko. I've always loved the Robin Williams story with her.
What was the Robin Williams story?
She asked to see his nipples and he happily raised his shirt for her to twist them lol
Aww that's such a cute story! I mean, this probably doesn't negate that because she was probably playful anyway!
I guess that's true, she was still apparently sad finding out about his death regardless of she could sign
Noooo don't tell me that!
Sorry lol
