An online study set up by Kirsty Graham and Catherine Hobaiter to explore human understanding of chimpanzee and bonobo gestural signals. Participants are randomly allocated to one of two conditions: gesture only or with context. From a set of 40 videos each participant sees 20. Videos were cut to only show the gesture, eliminating any behaviour before or after communication. Videos can be watched as often as needed before the answer is selected. Gesture meanings were established from the published literature, the correct meaning for a gesture video stimulus was assigned based on the specific meaning used for that instance of communication (rather than in general for that gesture type).
Note that the child version does not contain meanings related to sexual solicitation.
