Dogs tuned to conspecific vocalizations: behavioral evidence for a voice processing preference [PDF]
Animal CognitionIn many species, conspecific vocalizations are processed preferentially over other sounds. However, it is unknown whether this reflects sensitivity to voiceness (acoustic relevance), conspecificity (biological relevance), or socially significant species’

Toy exploration in gifted word learner dogs and typical dogs [PDF]
Animal CognitionLabelling has a pronounced effect on increasing infants’ attention to objects. At the same time, infants actively seek social cues when presented with novel objects and early signs of communicative intent are considered essential for language learning ...

, 2017 Ethology calls on a wide range of disciplines including genetics, physiology, ecology, developmental biology, and evolution to converge in an integrated view of the organism, its function, and its interactions with its physical system. Among the vertebrates, bird and mammal behaviour have been the subject of much investigation, whereas fish behaviour ...

Perception of animacy leads to expectation of goal-directed behaviour in dogs [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHuman newborns preferentially attend to self-propelled objects, and three-month-olds expect them to act in a goal-directed manner. Dogs also prefer animate objects, and anticipate human actions to be goal-driven, but it is unclear whether perceiving an ...

Dogs’ reactions to motivations and emotions in conspecific and heterospecific vocalizations [PDF]
Scientific ReportsVocalizations convey information about both emotional valence (negative/positive) and motivational states (hostile/non-hostile). However, it remains unclear which of these dimensions primarily determines what the listener decodes from vocalizations as ...

High Rank, Low Tolerance: Hierarchy-Dependent Reactions of Cohabiting Companion Dogs to Being Separated from Their Owner [PDF]
AnimalsCohabiting companion dogs establish hierarchy among themselves. It is hypothesized that the owner represents the main and undividable resource, thus primary access to this is a main organizing factor of rank-related behaviors of dogs. Here we tested high-

Scientific Reports, 2021 During social interactions, acoustic parameters of tetrapods’ vocalisations reflect the emotional state of the caller. Higher levels of spectral noise and the occurrence of irregularities (non-linear phenomena NLP) might be negative arousal indicators in

Spontaneous action matching in dog puppies, kittens and wolf pups
Scientific Reports, 2023 We investigated the spontaneous tendency of dog puppies, kittens and wolf pups to match their behaviour to actions demonstrated by a human, in the absence of food reward.
