HOW DOGS LEARN FROM HUMAN BEHAVIOR

Can dogs read our minds? ¿Cómo aprenden a pedir comida o se comportan mal sobre todo cuando no les miramos? Según Monique Udell y su equipo, the University of Florida, the way in which dogs come to respond to the level of people's attention tells us something about how dogs think and learn about human behavior.

His research, published in the journal Learning & Behaviour, sugiere que todo se debe a una combinación de señales específicas, context and experience. Recent work has identified a remarkable range of social behaviors similar to humans in domestic dogs, including its ability to respond to human body language, verbal orders, and the States of attention.

The question is, ¿cómo lo hacen? ¿infieren los perros en los seres humanos estados mentales mediante la observación de su apariencia y comportamiento en distintas circunstancias y luego actuan en consecuencia? ¿O aprenden de la experiencia, in response to environmental signals, la presencia o ausencia de ciertos estímulos, and even the signs of human behavior? The work of Udell and his companions “It sheds some light on these issues”.

They carried out two experiments comparing the performance of domestic dogs, pastoral dogs and wolves, giving them the opportunity to ask for food, either a close person or a person who cannot see the animal. Querían saber si el medio ambiente propio del animal (a herd or a House), or own species (dog or Wolf), tenía impacto en el rendimiento del animal.

It showed for the first time that the wolves, like domestic dogs, they are able to claim food approaching the attentive human. This shows that both species – domestic and non-domestic – they have the ability to behave according to the State of attention of a human being. It also, both the wolves and the dogs were able to quickly improve your performance with practice. The authors also found that dogs were not sensitive to all the Visual signs of attention of a human being in the same way.

In particular, los perros de ambiente doméstico en lugar de los dedicados a pastorear fueron más sensibles a los estímulos predecibles en los seres humanos atentos. Dogs with less regular exposure to humans were more incorrectly in to ask food.

According to the researchers, “These results suggest that the ability of dogs to track human actions is due to the willingness to accept humans as social companions, combined with an ability to keep the limbs and the actions of human beings to receive confirmation. Like this, the type of attention signals, the context in which the order is, and the experience are important”.
