Dogs with a large vocabulary of object labels learn new labels by overhearing like 1.5-year-old infants Children as young as 18 months can acquire novel words by overhearing third-party interactions. Demonstrating similar learning processes in nonhuman species would indicate that the social-cognitive sk...

🧪 New paper with "gifted" pet #dogs 🐶 suggests that they are able to associate labels they've overheard their guardians use with novel objects. Check out the full article: www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Fear of the flying: new study looks at ‘neophobia’ in birds | News A University of Alberta psychology team is part of the largest-ever study on neophobia, or the fear of novelty, in birds. The study suggests birds that are more afraid of the unfamiliar may be less likely to adapt well to environmental disruptions as a result of climate change.
