One crucial element for the evolution of cooperation may be sensitivity to others' efforts and payoffs compared with one's own costs gains. Inequity aversion is thought driving force behind unselfish motivated punishment in humans constituting a powerful device enforcement cooperation. Recent research indicates that non-human primates refuse participate cooperative problem-solving tasks if they witness conspecific obtaining more attractive reward same effort. However, little known about...
Parrots and corvids show outstanding innovative flexible behaviour. In particular, kea New Caledonian crows are often singled out as being exceptionally sophisticated in physical cognition, so that comparing them this respect is particularly interesting. However, cognitive mechanisms among species requires consideration of non-cognitive behavioural propensities morphological characteristics evolved from different ancestry adapted to fit ecological niches. We used a novel experimental...
The ability to learn from the actions of another is adaptive, as it a shortcut for acquiring new information. However, evolutionary origins this trait are still unclear. There evidence that group-living mammals, birds, fishes and insects can through observation, but has never been investigated in reptiles. Here, we show non-social red-footed tortoise (Geochelone carbonaria) conspecific detour task; non-observer animals (without demonstrator) failed. This result provides first species use...
Sixteen domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) were tested in a familiar context series of 1-min trials on how well they obeyed after being told by their owner to lie down. Food was used 1/3 all trials, and during the trial engaged 1 5 activities. The behaved differently depending owner's attention them. When watched owner, stayed lying down most often and/or for longest time compared with when read book, TV, turned his or her back them, left room. These results indicate that sensed attentional...
It has been suggested that dogs display a secure base effect similar to found in human children (i.e., using the owner as for interacting with environment). In children, this influences their daily lives and importantly also performance cognitive testing. Here, we investigate importance of problem-solving task.Using manipulative task, tested three conditions, which varied owner's presence behavior (Experiment 1: "Absent owner", "Silent "Encouraging owner") one additional condition, was...
Inhibitory control, the ability to overcome prepotent but ineffective behaviors, has been studied extensively across species, revealing involvement of this in many different aspects life. While various paradigms have created order measure inhibitory only a limited number studies investigated whether such measurements indeed evaluate same underlying mechanism, especially non-human animals. In humans, control is complex construct composed distinct behavioral processes rather than single...
Emotional contagion, a basic component of empathy defined as emotional state-matching between individuals, has previously been shown in dogs even upon solely hearing negative sounds humans or conspecifics. The current investigation further sheds light on this phenomenon by directly contrasting both species (humans and dogs) well opposed valences (positive negative) to gain insights into intra- interspecies differences positively negatively valenced sounds. Different types were played back...
Dogs have a special place in human history as the first domesticated species and play important roles many cultures around world.However, their role scientific studies has been relatively recent.With few notable exceptions (e.g., Darwin, Pavlov, Scott, Fuller), domestic dogs were not commonly subject of rigorous investigation behavior until late 1990s.Although number canine science increased dramatically over last 20 years, most research groups are limited inferences they can draw because...
The extent to which dogs ( Canis familiaris ) as a domesticated species understand human intentions is still matter of debate. unwilling–unable paradigm has been developed examine whether nonhuman animals are sensitive underlying actions. In this paradigm, subjects tended wait longer in the testing area when presented with that appeared willing but unable transfer food them compared an unwilling (teasing) human. present study, we conducted using detailed behavioural analysis based on...
