Even Macaques Need Computer Time To Relax!

Non-human primates seem (1) to like touchscreen computers (2) as much as humans. The orangutans and gorillas of the Milwaukee Zoo (USA) (3) have been 'enriching their lives' with iPads since 2011. A new study showed that exposing the animals to these (4) devices not only makes their lives more interesting, but also, helps them to relax and become (5) friendlier.

The discovery (6) was made by the scientists during psychological (7) research on a group of macaques. The non-human primates are nearly as (8) successful as humans in studying the subject. The reasons are that they are almost as intelligent and thanks to the (9) skillfulness of their hands, can use many of the same devices.

The scientists set up touchscreens with some matching tasks for the monkeys (10) to complete. Each time they answered a question (11) correctly, the animals were rewarded (12) with a healthy treat. The primates (13) were allowed to go play with the computers when they wanted and leave, when they had enough.

The monkeys that had a chance to interact with the computers seemed to be much (14) happier.
