Jamie’s Brain

August 17, 2013 by Diana

You know that whole thing about right brain vs. left brain and people identifying themselves as one or the other? Well, Jamie seems to be ambidextrous-brained. You know she’s an artist because you’ve been voting for her piece in the chimp art contest every day this week, right?

Her left brain side is pretty strong, though. As J.B.’s video demonstrated yesterday, Jamie is a skilled tool user. And she loves to solve puzzles. Just watch her solve a puzzle that the human’s created for her recently:

    I am always amazed with her patience working a project. I would be so frustrated but she thrives on these types of tasks and she is always successful at them.

    Amazing to say the least! Was she able to get to all the things in the box?
