Our human capacity to efficiently learn from other individuals is unparalleled in any nonhuman species. Some scholars argue that our propensity to learn socially is supported by an early-emerging expectation that communicative cues will convey generic information (Csibra & Gergely, 2011). In the current 2 studies, we examine whether this expectation about generic information is unique to humans by testing a species that readily attends to human cues-dogs. Specifically, we adapted a violation of expectation paradigm previously used with human infants to examine whether communicative cues lead dogs to selectively encode generic, kind-relevant information about objects (e.g., shape). Prior work has demonstrated that human infants are more likely to notice unexpected changes in kind-relevant information in communicative contexts (i.e., when an agent points to the object; Yoon et al., 2008). In contrast, across 2 studies (N = 136), dogs were no more likely to notice kind-relevant changes in communicative contexts than noncommunicative contexts. These findings suggest that although dogs attend to human communicative cues, such cues do not shape the way that dogs encode objects. More broadly, this finding lends support to the claim that our early-emerging generic expectation crucially supports our human capacity to efficiently learn from one another.

交际线索如何塑造狗(Canisfamiliaris)对物体进行编码的方式?

我们人类有效地向其他个体学习的能力在任何非人类物种中都是无与伦比的。一些学者认为,我们的社交学习倾向得到了早期出现的期望的支持,即交流线索将传达一般信息(Csibra & Gergely,2011)。在当前的 2 项研究中,我们通过测试一个容易注意人类线索的物种——狗,来检验这种对通用信息的期望是否是人类独有的。具体来说,我们采用了先前用于人类婴儿的违反期望范式来检查交流线索是否会导致狗选择性地编码关于物体的通用、种类相关信息(例如形状)。先前的工作表明,人类婴儿更有可能注意到交流环境中种类相关信息的意外变化(即,当代理指向对象时;Yoon 等人,2008 年)。相比之下,在 2 项研究(N = 136)中,与非交流环境相比,狗不太可能注意到交流环境中与善意相关的变化。这些发现表明,虽然狗会注意人类的交流线索,但这些线索并没有塑造狗编码物体的方式。更广泛地说,这一发现支持这样一种说法,即我们早期出现的一般期望至关重要地支持我们人类有效地相互学习的能力。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA,保留所有权利)。这些发现表明,虽然狗会注意人类的交流线索,但这些线索并没有塑造狗编码物体的方式。更广泛地说,这一发现支持这样一种说法,即我们早期出现的一般期望至关重要地支持我们人类有效地相互学习的能力。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA,保留所有权利)。这些发现表明,虽然狗会注意人类的交流线索,但这些线索并没有塑造狗编码物体的方式。更广泛地说,这一发现支持这样一种说法,即我们早期出现的一般期望至关重要地支持我们人类有效地相互学习的能力。(PsycInfo 数据库记录 (c) 2021 APA,保留所有权利)。
