• Promising candidate for modelling human social behaviour (Topál 2009)
• Communicative signs: pointing (eg. Miklósi et al 2000), gaze following (Téglás et al 2012)
Domestication selection
Eye-tracking with dogsEye-tracking with dogs
• 1999 (Dell’Osso et al): restrict dogs’ head movements
•2010 (Mills et al): complex pre-training
•2012 (Téglás et al): without any restriction, training
Cross-modal matchingCross-modal matching
Integration of information coming from several sensory modalities is crucial for communication and individual recognition in many species (Bovet & Deputte 2009)
2. Do dogs and human infants show more attention and preference towards pictures of conspecifics?
Simple picture-sound matching abilities: human & dog portraits bark & human voice1. Do (a) dogs and (b) 14-months old
infants show sound-image matching (gazing more at dog pic. the ‘barking’ condition and more at human portrait in the ‘human voice’ condition)?
MethodsMethods
1. Calibration
Subjects 27 adult pet dogs, 14 14 months old infants
2. Test trial
Data analysisData analysis
