A video with a long segment on Koko, Signs of the Apes, Songs of the Whales, will be shown in class.
This video is also on reserve at the library so you can view it again.

A brief article about Koko is available from the professor:
Vessels, J. (1985). Koko's kitten. National Geographic, 167, 110-113.
This article is typical of the way Koko has been portrayed in the popular media.

This book, written by Koko researcher Patterson, is on reserve at the library:
Patterson, F., & Linden, E. (1981). The education of Koko. New York: Holt Rinehart & Winston.
