Coren's book presents a ranked list of breed intelligence, based on a survey of 208 dog obedience judges across North America. [10] When it was first published there was much media attention and commentary in terms of both pros [11] and cons. [12] Over the years, Coren's ranking of breeds and methodology have come to be accepted as a valid description of the differences among dog breeds in ...
Dog intelligence or dog cognition is the process in dogs of acquiring information and conceptual skills, and storing them in memory, retrieving, combining and comparing them, and using them in new situations. [1] Studies have shown that dogs display many behaviors associated with intelligence. They have advanced memory skills, and are able to ...
Jan Fennell, "The dog listener", is an English dog trainer who applied the insights of Monty Roberts into horse behavior to the behavior of dogs. [1] [2]Her training method is based on the theory that dogs, being descended from wolves, fit the social model of the pack - an ordered hierarchy with a clearly defined leader.
Therefore, many dogs do not appear to pay much attention to the actual fighting ability of their opponent, presumably allowing differences in motivation (how much the dog values the resource) and perceived motivation (what the behavior of the other dog signifies about the likelihood that it will escalate) to play a much greater role.
The performance of dogs in these studies is superior to that of NHPs, [39] however, some have stated categorically that dogs do not possess a human-like ToM. [12] [40] Similarly, dogs preferentially use the behaviour of the human Knower to indicate the location of food. This is unrelated to the sex or age of the dog.
Rhizomatic learning is a variety of pedagogical practices informed by the work of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. [1] [2] Explored initially as an application of post-structural thought to education, it has more recently been identified as methodology for net-enabled education. [3]
Bloom's taxonomy has become a widely adopted tool in education, influencing instructional design, assessment strategies, and learning outcomes across various disciplines. Despite its broad application, the taxonomy has also faced criticism, particularly regarding the hierarchical structure of cognitive skills and its implications for teaching ...
Human guardians are significantly less likely to die within one year of an acute myocardial infarction than those who do not own dogs. [264] Studies have found a small to moderate correlation between dog-ownership and increased adult physical-activity levels. [265] A 2005 paper by the British Medical Journal states: [259]
