The perception of humans by piglets: recognition of familiar handlers and generalisation to unfamiliar humans
- PsychologyAnimal Cognition
- 2015
Although piglets were able to extend their memory of humans to an unfamiliar human through generalisation, many factors seemed to interact in this process, especially the complexity of the previous experience and the context in which piglets met the unfamiliar human.
Individual differences in social and non-social behaviors in domestic dogs (Canis familiaris) during the acquisition, extinction and reacquisition of a problem solving task

Dogs don't always prefer their owners and can quickly form strong preferences for certain strangers over others.
- Psychology, BiologyJournal of the experimental analysis of behavior
- 2017
Both shelter and owned dogs tested with two strangers showed a magnitude of preference for one stranger over the other similar to owned dogs' preference for owners in an unfamiliar context, but the strength of preference shown for one of two strangers indicates dogs can form a preferences for one person quickly.
Human proximity seeking in family pigs and dogs

It is found that both dogs and pigs seek the proximity of their caregiver, but there is a difference in how each species generalizes their experience to other humans.
Gazing as a help requesting behavior: a comparison of dogs participating in animal-assisted interventions and pet dogs
- PsychologyAnimal Cognition
- 2019
Comparisons of the behavior of AAI and pet dogs during an unsolvable task and results suggest that gazing may be a significant communicative response in AAI dogs, which could probably contribute to having a better coordination with their handler.

Dogs’ attention towards humans depends on their relationship, not only on social familiarity
- Biology, PsychologyAnimal Cognition
- 2012
Investigation of how long dogs would attend to the actions of two familiar humans and one unfamiliar experimenter while varying whether dogs had a close relationship with only one or both familiar humans provides evidence that social familiarity cannot account for dogs’ increased attention towards their owners.
Are dogs (Canis familiaris) misled more by their owners than by strangers in a food choice task?
- Psychology, BiologyAnimal Cognition
- 2010
Results show that dogs are willing to follow a person’s indication even when this is visibly (if perhaps only mildly) counterproductive to them and that they are socially prepared to rely equally on cues given by the owner and an unfamiliar friendly person.

- Psychology, BiologyPloS one

This study is the first to provide evidence for an owner-specific secure base effect in dogs that extends from attachment tests to other areas of dogs' lives and also manifests itself in cognitive testing – thereby confirming the remarkable similarity between the secure baseEffect in dogs and in human children.

The results suggest that individual familiarization with pointing gestures ensures high-level performance in the presence of such gestures; however, species-specific differences could cause differences in signaling toward the human.
