Adjective Clauses

The Think Tank


The Think Tank at the National Zoo in Washington,
DC, is an exhibit that is unique. The project, which
scientists call the Think Tank (“a place to think about
thinking”) examines the biological thinking process of
animals. Scientists, who have different opinions about
which animal behaviors actually involve thinking, say
thought has three elements: image, intention, and
flexibility. The scientists at the Think Tank are
studying these elements in many different animals, but
it is the orangutans who are seen as the stars of the
exhibit because they are learning to use symbolic
language on a computer.
Use who or that as the subject of an
adjective clause.

The orangutans are the ones whose language
ability is being examined. Four orangutans are
being trained to use a special computer which is
set up so they learn around 70 different symbols.
These symbols, which consist of seven categories
such as food and verbs, use simple shapes. For
example, a rectangle by itself means “food”.
Scientists want to see if once the orangutans
learn the symbols, they can putwords together to
express thoughts. The orangutans visit the Think
Tank when they want, and their participation is
voluntary. The building where they live is linked to
The Think Tank by cables that they can travel
back and forth on. On days when they go to the
Think Tank, they can choose if they want to
participate or just watch.
