摘要

背景:通过观察向人类学习的能力被认为在适当社交的狗中同样存在。我们最近的研究表明,合作型工作犬能更有效地向人类示范者学习。我们假设,功能性犬种选择可能会影响对人类注意力诱发行为的敏感性。因此,我们首次在狗身上进行了一项研究,比较了在社会学习情境中矫饰性语言交流和中性语言交流的效果。我们采用了绕透明的 V 形栅栏迂回范例,并使用了挑逗性语言(用语言和特定的、能引起注意的前奏对接收者讲话)或中性语言(单调地朗诵一首短诗)进行演示。演示序列的其他特征(手势、动作)在两种条件下保持一致。我们对来自 17 个合作犬种和 16 个独立犬种的伴侣犬(N = 70)进行了三次 1 分钟的试验。受试者必须绕过栅栏才能获得奖励:结果:合作犬的迂回潜伏期在矫饰性和中性言语示范后都有所改善。独立犬在两种条件下的绕行潜伏期都没有改善。值得注意的是,挑衅性言语会延长狗看向示范者的相对时间,合作犬看向示范者的时间也会延长,而更长的看向时间会导致更成功的绕行:我们的研究首次表明,功能性犬种的选择对狗对人类挑逗性交流的敏感性有重大影响。

You talkin' to me? Functional breed selection may have fundamentally influenced dogs' sensitivity to human verbal communicative cues.

Background: The ability to learn from humans via observation was considered to be equally present across properly socialized dogs. We showed recently that cooperative working breeds learned from a human demonstrator more effectively. We hypothesized that functional breed selection could affect sensitivity to human attention-eliciting behavior. Accordingly, we ran the first ever study on dogs that compared the effect of ostensive and neutral verbal communication in a social learning scenario. We used the detour paradigm around a transparent V-shaped fence with either ostensive (addressing the receiver both with words and specific, attention-eliciting prosody) or neutral speech (monotonous reciting of a short poem) demonstration. The other features (gestures, movement) of the demonstration sequence were kept identical between the two conditions. We tested (N = 70) companion dogs from 17 cooperative and 16 independent breeds in three 1-min trials. Subjects had to obtain the reward by detouring around the fence.

Results: Detour latencies of the cooperative dogs improved after both ostensive and neutral speech demonstrations. The independent dogs did not improve their detour latency in either of the conditions. Remarkably, ostensive verbal utterances elicited longer relative looking time towards the demonstrator, cooperative dogs looked longer at the demonstrator, and longer looking time resulted in more successful detours.

Conclusions: Our study provides the first indication that functional breed selection had a significant impact on dogs' sensitivity to ostensive human communication, which, apart from being crucially important for social learning from humans, until now was considered as a uniformly present heritage of domestication in dogs.
