Both monkeys and preschoolers relied on intuitive reasoning, while educated adults used symbolic tools. The results suggest geometric intuition is shared across #primates and refined through #learning. 👉 https://www.sciencealert.com/monkeys-have-geometric-skills-on-par-with-human-preschoolers-study-suggests #primates #geometry #cognition #science #math #education #animals #intelligence #psychology
