I believe the chimp has done them all before. If you watch closely, half of the time he doesn't even look at the screen before the numbers are covered up.


The chimp looks at the screen every time, as it will not start until he hits the continue button.

I'm fairly certain that the numbers are programmed to appear randomly, as the experiment would not be useful at all if he were just going through the movements and this is something easily identified as a confounding variable. If I were conducting this experiment, this would be one of the first things that would have been made sure of, and I've been conducting psychological experiments for only 2 years now.
