When we look at our pawed friend with whom we share our lives, we all undoubtedly wonder, “I wonder what’s going on in his head?” “I wonder how much of everything that’s going on can he understand?” We get into your thoughts. Research shows that they can understand much more than we thought!
According to studies conducted on our furry friends at Eötvös Loránd University much more than simple commands They can understand. They can even go so far as to match words with objects!
These new discovered features of dogs’ thought processes is much closer to people In addition to revealing the results, it also opens an exciting new window regarding comprehension skills… Let’s take a look from this window.
Dogs can perceive words as “object names” rather than commands.
Many dogs are very good at fetching various objects on command, but the one we will talk about is much more advanced… At Eötvös Loránd University, for dogs’ perception A research was done.
In the test where 18 different breeds of dogs such as Poodle, Border Collie and Labrador were used, dog owners; 5 objects that look familiar to your dog choosed. They said the name of an object and showed the dog both the named object and a different object. The results were incredible…
Visible differences emerged in the dogs’ brain activity.
Owner of the dog: “Zara, look, ball!” and objects were shown while the dog’s brain activity was monitored via EEG. There was a change in brain activity when the owner said “ball” and showed a stick. When the object matched the spoken word, the effect was much stronger. In short, dogs are more about location than location. word with object He could really match!
Dogs are much more perceptive than we realize.
The results seen in the research we mentioned are: Because it is similar to results seen in humans It brings with it many exciting discoveries. One of the researchers explains the situation as follows:
“The most important finding of this study is not only that non-human creatures have the ability to understand words as references, but also that this capacity is generally present in dogs. This study showed that dogs more than they show It reveals what they can understand.”
Another researcher says that dogs understand both more and less than we do and continues: “This research showed that a word that dogs know (for example, a ball) a mental representation It shows what they did. This comes as no surprise to most dog owners who know how their dogs understand some words!”
Turns out behind those innocent looks and in their cute minds So much is lying there!
