Dogs May Be Smarter Than You Think!

From time to time, many people may think about what is actually going on in the minds of dogs, which have been our close friends for tens of thousands of years. A new study by scientists from Eötvös Lorand University shed some light on this curiosity. Scientists find objects near dogs ‘many kinds of mental imagery‘ he revealed. So what does this mean?

According to new research published in Animal Cognition, dogs can think of an object thanks to these abilities. visualizes many sensory aspects. For example, he can imagine how the object looks or smells. The new discovery could help us understand how a dog thinks about that toy when they’re looking for their favorite toy.

Dogs can create an object in their minds with different senses:

The dogs studied in the study were ‘selected’ dogs that were different from each other and could memorize the names of objects. In their first experiment, scientists 3 selected dogs and 10 typical family dogs trained him to choose in exchange for a reward. The dogs were rewarded as they managed to choose the toys that were matched with them among other toys.

The experiment of choosing a particular toy, always placed between four toys, took place in both light and non-light environments. It has been observed that dogs can find their toys in the dark longer. After this experiment, the second experiment was started. If this experiment selected dogs only joined.

In this experiment, scientists wanted to find out what dogs thought when the toy name was called. Chosen dogs, toys named by their owners in both light and dark environment managed to choose. This revealed that when dogs hear the name of a toy, they imagine the connotation of that toy in different senses. It was also seen that dogs relied more on their eyes than their noses in the light and their noses in the dark.
