Abstract
A chimpanzee, named Ai, received feeding training with two other apes. Ai was always fed with the green bowl; the other two apes were fed with different colored bowls. After this training, Ai could make symbolic associations between objects and individuals by using an artificial visual language, based only on her observation of bowls used in feeding without specific trainingKeywords
