Koko was loaned to Patterson and Pasternak under the condition that they would spend at least four years with her. Patterson along with Charles Pasternak originally cared for Koko at the San Francisco Zoo as part of their doctoral research at Stanford University after Koko came to the zoo's hospital. Koko remained with her mother until the age of one when Koko was taken to the zoo's hospital to be treated for a life-threatening illness. Koko was the 50th gorilla born in captivity and one of the first gorillas accepted by her mother in captivity. Koko was born on July 4, 1971, at the San Francisco Zoo to her biological mother Jacqueline and father Bwana. Pullum (among others) has called Koko's claimed abilities 'mythical', writing that she never did more than 'flailing around producing signs at random', and criticized much press coverage of Patterson's claims as 'sentimental nonsense'. Some experts, including Mary Lee Jensvold, claim that Koko ' language the same way people do' and she scored between 70 and 90 on various infant IQ scales. However, it is generally accepted that she did not use syntax or grammar, and that her use of language did not exceed that of a young human child. Koko is said to have understood nouns, verbs, and adjectives, including abstract concepts like 'good' and 'fake', and was able to ask simple questions. Īs with other great-ape language experiments, the extent to which Koko mastered and demonstrated language through the use of these signs is debated. Koko's life and learning process has been described by Patterson and various collaborators in books, peer-reviewed scientific articles, and on a website. It was reported that Koko understood approximately 2,000 words of spoken English, in addition to the signs. In contrast to other experiments attempting to teach sign language to non-human primates, Patterson simultaneously exposed Koko to spoken English from an early age. This puts Koko's vocabulary at the same level as a three-year-old human. Her instructor and caregiver, Francine Patterson, reported that Koko had an active vocabulary of more than 1,000 signs of what Patterson calls 'Gorilla Sign Language' (GSL). Koko gained public attention upon a report of her having adopted a kitten as a pet and naming him 'All Ball', which the public perceived as her ability to rhyme. 'fireworks child', is of Japanese origin and is a reference to her date of birth, the Fourth of July. Koko was born in San Francisco Zoo, and lived most of her life at The Gorilla Foundation's preserve in the Santa Cruz Mountains.
