      @Emily C I am not spreading any type of misinformation, lol. You can literally see articles among articles debunking this.
      This "communicating" level she showed was no higher than a crow saying hello. She had basic/trained commands. Hello, Goodbye, and etc. She could not and never showed an ability to carry on a conversation.
      Emily stop trying to make something that doesn't exist.

    • @ToneysReviews
      @ToneysReviews 4 роки тому +18

      @Emily C This is a quite simple task, all it requires is typing into Google.
      Koko made the wrong signs on multiple occasions and not only that would randomly sign "nipple" all of the time. In many cases where Koko was doing the wrong thing her care takers would run up to her to correct it asap.
      The fact is, she could not speak. "Why is she showing her trainer what she wants using gestures", lol. Why does a dog push an empty bowl to its owners feet when it's hungry? These are simple association tactics that all animals use. Did she show the ability to recall and remember things, yes. However, this is not speaking.
      Let me ask you this, since you think she was so smart, then why is it that they never taught her how to spell? Her hand works the same as yours and mine. Why is it that when random people would ask her questions she was unable to answer. Again, this has been debunked by many scientist.
      Now, keep lowering yourself and not realizing how special you are.

      Every animal can communicate, but Koko was different because she learned human language, that certain motions represent certain words. A cat can communicate, but she doesn't have different sounds or motions for "building," "ball" or "grass." Gorillas and chimps are unique.

    • @heymartine8818
      @heymartine8818 11 місяців тому +12

      ⁠@@GertyutzDogs and Cats (some breeds better than others) can understand specific words and motions and what their meaning is, they just don’t have the physical capability to communicate it to us the same way. Though there is one workaround this using buttons that have individual words that are played when pressed. It’s a lot to do with how much effort and money (those button system usually aren’t cheap and the more your pet learns the more buttons you’ll need and the more expensive it is) you are willing to put into your pet.
      I don’t want to take away from how amazing Koko was, but she most likely wasn’t close to fluent in “human language” and she was probably closer to how our smartest dogs and cats can be with buttons just with the extra of being able to fully communicate it without having any form of assistance.

      It has been proven times and times again that animals have emotions when a family member dies or when something bad happens, dogs for exemple do show some guilt when they do something bad, monkeys and gorillas have also proven to use low level tools suchs as sticks and other to ease the openning of foods and others.

      @Shàñkš definitely animals can think and it's not just instinct. We also evolved from apes and monkeys, we share 92% of a gorillas genome, Which has strong evidence that we are related to them. Heres a way to look at it. All proteins and growth in animals are controlled by DNA, in humans it's the same. Furthermore you dont know if the earliest of humans were as smart as us. So you cannot come to the conclusion that we are unique. It is over time that we evolved to developed intelligence. And so far the theory of evolution is the most reasonable and logical theory to explain life. You may think we know right and wrong but so do animals, it's just that their wrongs and our wrongs are different. And by the way I not an atheist, I'm a Christian.

      They can definitely communicate with people without reward...which you falsely claim as being impossible, then they could communicate with one another if we could figure out a way to go beyond that boundary. The main issue is probably due to the fact that along with signing, she also speaks words to koko. They probably need both to associate it with words.

      She named it “All Ball” because the kitten’ tail was very short. Kook noticed that she was missing her tail, and gave her a name that distinguished the kitten from other cats. She was shaped like a ball, not a cat, so “All Ball.”

      Eli Malinsky | A lovely thought, but sadly incorrect. To give you an idea, young children can't recognize their own reflection. It's true our cleverest handful of fauna can display abstract thought, (the first existential question asked by an animal came from a parrot, who asked what colour it was) this is not a gift to simply project on to every animal.
      It's possible your most clever cats can recognize themselves in mirrors, but you'll need to check to be certain. Place a mark on your cat's face and set it in front of a mirror. If it attempts to remove the mark, that's a definitive yes. Otherwise, you can't be sure.

Or even earthworms for that matter, just because they do exactly what we can do, doesn't make them less in intelligence, sure we humans can do more than them & are much more evolved but that doesn't give us any right to make them any less of a life or categorise them intelligent only when they copy one of our behaviours(which honestly is just training of mimicry and as far as I know that's definitely not intelligence)

God bless God Jesus The Holy Spirit love you and be with you forevermore in Jesus Name we pray amen :) only One God our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ i am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. galatians 2:20 in Jesus Name we pray amen, pray for the peace of israel pray for those who are persucated for righteousness sake for their is the kingdom of heaven see matthew 5:10 pray for the brethren pray for me in all things praying for you in Jesus Name we pray amen may you believe in Jesus and be saved in Jesus Name we pray amen i encourage you to repent of your sins turn from them and come to believe in Jesus for it is by declaring with your mouth Jesus is Lord and believing in your heart that God raised Him from the dead you are saved and all who truly put their trust in Him will never be put to shame in Jesus Name we pray amen in Jesus Name we pray amen (see romans 10-11) for the kingdom of heaven is at hand, no one is promised tomorrow and Jesus alone saves all in Jesus Name we pray amen God bless God Jesus The Holy Spirit love you and be with you forevermore praying for you pray for me in all things through trials and temptations and sin and to be more Christ like everyday for Jesus is perfect and the same always in Jesus Name we pray amen Jesus loves us all and died and rose again to save us all for by His blood our sins are forgiven, it is God's gift to us to be saved for we do not deserve it and we can not earn it but when we believe in Jesus we are saved and have passed over from death to life with God and Jesus forevermore in Jesus Name hey only God Jesus The Holy Spirit are perfect and only One God our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and we can be made righteous when we come to Jesus for while we have sinned and fall short of The glory of God Jesus The Holy Spirit but when we believe in Jesus and come to Him our sins are forgiven and we can turn from sin and wickedness and live a life worthy to Jesus in Jesus Name we pray amen Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old? 7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul? 8 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? micah 6:6-8 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. john 14:6-7 do not use The Lord's Name in vain instead honor God love God with all heart soul and mind and love your neighbor as yourself, believe in The One God has sent Jesus Christ for this is The Work of God in Jesus Name we pray amen That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For The scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. romans 10:9-13 only God Jesus The Holy Spirit are perfect and when we come to Jesus we can be saved for by His blood our sins are forgiven and when we believe we are saved, i encourage you to read your Bible for it alone is God's Word for us and invite The Holy Spirit into your life for it is God's Word and Spirit that give light and life to all for Jesus is The Living Word and all who believe in Jesus are saved and have passed over from death to life. they re no longer separated from God for eternity but have life and peace with God and Jesus forevermore, instead of being condemned to the lake of fire we have life in the new heaven the new earth and the new jerusalem where there is no more death or mourning or sorrow or crying or pain or sin for Jesus bore them all on the cross taking them away forevermore and when we truly believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior we are saved in Jesus Name we pray amen come into The Kingdom of Light accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior today amen amen For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to
      save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the Name of God’s one and only Son john 3:16-18 come to know Jesus today He died on the cross for our sins and rose again, so we can live with Him forever because He loves us, by His blood He has victory over sin, death and hell amen.

I read her signing as clearly as the signing of my deaf friends and my son. I was floored by the reality that she knows what she signs. Hearing people tend to dismiss her largely because they don't know/speak/understand ASL. She's not human but is surely intelligent and obviously capable of communication.

People can train elephants to paint paintings, and the trainers treat it like the elephant is creating a unique picture, even though it was specifically trained to make the same painting over and over, meaning it doesn’t actually understand the abstract art it is creating. Koko is definitely more convincing though. I haven’t looked into it enough to see if she really can communicate or if she is only making gestures from classical conditioning and treats.
