Teaching Sign Language to the Chimpanzee Washoe

Synopsis

The original footage of Washoe’s learning. Topics include the range of Washoe’s vocabulary (including signs for objects, proper names, modifiers, actions and negatives); the development of sentence-like sequences of signs; the contexts in which she signed (including requests, answers to questions, spontaneous comments and questions and blind-testing conditions). Narrated by Allan Gardner.

NB occasionally the age of the film does affect the quality.
