"Can an Ape Create a Sentence?" In retrospect the conclusions of Terrace et al. seem to have been premature. Although some early ape language studies had not been rigorously controlled to eliminate cuing even as early as the 1970s R. A. Gardner and B. T. Gardner were conducting double-blind experiments that prevented any possibility of cuing (Fouts‚ 1997‚ p. 99). Since 1979‚ researchers have diligently guarded against cuing. Perhaps the best evidence that apes are not merely responding to cues is
