Semantics NimChimpsky (chimpanzee) was trained by Herbert Terrance to understand sign language. Terrance was skeptical of many former chimp experiments. Nim learned 125 signs, but Terrance realized that Nim seemed to simply be responding to signs that the researchers presented rather than understanding their meaning. Choose the highest level that the animal may have attained. Select one: a. Phonology b. Morphology c. Syntax d. Semantics In 1952, researchers Hayes and Hayes tried to teach their chimpanzee (Vickie) to speak the English language. Vickie learned how to make four sounds, but never produced anything that sounded much like language. Choose the highest level that the animal may have attained. Select one: a. Phonology b. Morphology c. Syntax d. Semantics Alex (an African grey parrot) was trained by Irene Pepperberg. Alex could say 70 words, including nouns, verbs, and adjectives. Alex could also identify colors and textures, use the numbers from one to five, and could report if the objects are the same or different. Choose the highest level that the animal may have attained. Select one: a. Phonology b. Morphology c. Syntax d. Semantics Herman, Richards, and Woltz (1984) trained dolphins to understand hand commands. Their dolphins could understand five-sign strings, as well as some rules of language. For instance, their dolphins Phoenix and Akeakamai, understood the order words had to be in to perform a certain command. Choose the highest level that the animal may have attained. Select one: a.
