However, Griffin's performance finally dropped when the pom-poms were shuffled three or four times; the students also dropped their accuracy. However, it is not quite as much as the bird. The researchers suggested that a feature called "manipulation" was used by the working memories of the Harvard students and the parrot to complete the challenge.
The test revealed that the study participants were not only able to remember which pom-poms were under which cups once they were out of sight, but they were able to manipulate the provided information as the plastic cups were shuffled multiple times. Although the students lost the game against one parrot, they'll still have the privileges an Ivy-league education has to offer them. Griffin was also rewarded, but with some raw cashew crackers.
