Research Suggests Dogs Can Distinguish Foreign Languages
Research Suggests , Dogs Can Distinguish , Foreign Languages.
NBC reports that researchers in Hungary have found
that dogs can recognize when someone is speaking
their owner's native language or a foreign one.
.
According to brain scans from 18 dogs, different areas
of the dogs' brains would light up depending on whether
the dog heard a familiar or foreign language.
.
Dogs are really good in
the human environment.
We found that they know more than
I expected about human language, Laura Cuaya, a postdoctoral researcher
at the Neuroethology of Communication Lab
at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, via NBC.
Certainly, this ability to be constant social
learners gives them an advantage as a species:
it gives them a better understanding
of their environment, Laura Cuaya, a postdoctoral researcher
at the Neuroethology of Communication Lab
at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, via NBC.
According to NBC, Cuaya said that dogs
seem to recognize their owner's native
language without "explicit training." .
I think this reflects how much dogs are
tuned to humans.
As many owners already
know, dogs are social beings interested
in what is happening in their social world, Laura Cuaya, a postdoctoral researcher
at the Neuroethology of Communication Lab
at Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, via NBC.
The study reportedly included six border collies, two Australian shepherds, a labradoodle, a cocker spaniel and three mixed breed dogs.
