Word learning in a domestic dog: evidence for "fast mapping"Juliane Kaminski
Department of Developmental and Comparative Psychology, Max-Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Deutscher Platz 6, 04103 Leipzig, Germany
Science 304:1682-3. 2004..Fast mapping thus appears to be mediated by general learning and memory mechanisms also found in other animals and not by a language acquisition device that is special to humans...
How dogs know when communication is intended for themJuliane Kaminski
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig, Germany
Dev Sci 15:222-32. 2012..Unlike human children, however, dogs did not seem to comprehend the human's communicative gesture when it was directed to another human, perhaps because dogs view all human communicative acts as directives for the recipient...
Body orientation and face orientation: two factors controlling apes' behavior from humansJuliane Kaminski
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Deutscher Plaz 6, 04103 Leipzig, Germany
Anim Cogn 7:216-23. 2004..In contrast to the results on body and face orientation, only two of the tested subjects responded to the state of the observer's eyes...
Domestic dogs comprehend human communication with iconic signsJuliane Kaminski
Sub Department of Animal Behaviour, University of Cambridge, Madingley, Cambridge, UK
Dev Sci 12:831-7. 2009....
Prospective object search in dogs: mixed evidence for knowledge of What and WhereJuliane Kaminski
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Deutscher Platz 6, 04103, Leipzig, Germany
Anim Cogn 11:367-71. 2008..Despite this variation in performance, this study provides evidence for the memory of What and Where in a domestic dog and shows the prospective use of such information in a search task...
Chimpanzees know what others know, but not what they believeJuliane Kaminski
Department of Developmental and Comparative Psychology, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig, Germany
Cognition 109:224-34. 2008..Possible explanations for their failure in the highly similar false belief task are discussed...
Making inferences about the location of hidden food: social dog, causal apeJuliane Bräuer
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig, Germany
J Comp Psychol 120:38-47. 2006..This result is discussed in terms of apes' adaptations for complex, extractive foraging and dogs' adaptations, during the domestication process, for cooperative communication with humans...
Comparing dogs and great apes in their ability to visually track object transpositionsEveline F Rooijakkers
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Deutscher Platz 6, Leipzig, Germany
Anim Cogn 12:789-96. 2009..These results confirm the substantial difference that exists between great apes and dogs with regard to mental representation abilities required to track the invisible displacements of objects...
Domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) are sensitive to the attentional state of humansJosep Call
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig, Germany
J Comp Psychol 117:257-63. 2003..Results are discussed in terms of domestic dogs' social-cognitive skills and their unique evolutionary and ontogenetic histories...
Domestic dogs use contextual information and tone of voice when following a human pointing gestureLinda Scheider
Department of Developmental and Comparative Psychology, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig, Germany
PLoS ONE 6:e21676. 2011..These findings suggest that a dog's response to a pointing gesture is flexible and depends on the context as well as the human's tone of voice...
Focus on the essential: all great apes know when others are being attentiveSebastian Tempelmann
Department of Educational Science and Psychology, Freie Universitat Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Anim Cogn 14:433-9. 2011..Therefore, we present the first evidence that all great ape species are able to assess the attentional state of a recipient based on the orientation of the face...
Different social motives in the gestural communication of chimpanzees and human childrenAnke F Bullinger
Department of Developmental and Comparative Psychology, Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Germany
Dev Sci 14:58-68. 2011..These results are interpreted as evidence for the especially cooperative nature of human communication...
Dogs (Canis familiaris), but not chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes), understand imperative pointingKatharina C Kirchhofer
Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology, Leipzig, Germany
PLoS ONE 7:e30913. 2012..While dogs performed well on this task, chimpanzees failed to identify the referent. Implications for great apes' and dogs' understanding of human communicative intentions are discussed...
