You were not so crazy: dogs understand what we say and how we say – La Gaceta Tucumán

According to research, these animals processed words with the left hemisphere of the brain and interpret the tones right.

BUDAPEST, Hungria.- An investigation confirmed that dogs entieden what we say and how we say thanks to that like humans, use the same areas of the brain to process language.

the scientists found that the dogs processed words with the left hemisphere, and interpret the tone with the right hemisphere, research published in the journal Science said. Identify dogs that are complimenting them only when the words and tone match. Do not produce the same effect meaningless words such encouragingly or significant words said neutrally.

Attila Andics, a neurologist at the University Eotvos Lorand of Budapest, explains that the entoncación works similarly in many species. For example, the emotion is expressed with a strong voice. But humans also use words when we head toward pets “good boy” or “well done” are some phrases that are dedicated to them. “What we found was really surprising. Dogs pay attention to both the words and the intonation” he says.

“The neural capacity to process words that many believed were typical of human beings actually look in other species, “said the researcher. “This indicates that the great change that allowed humans to be able to use words was not a big change in the neural capacity,” he continued.

The dog maintains a partnership with humans for thousands years, indicating that pays more attention to what he says and how, unlike other species that has the ability to understand language, this is difficult to test because of his lack of interest in human language.

scientists trained 13 dogs to carry out the study, which remained motionless for seven minutes while they did a brain MRI. Then they measured the brain activity of each animal to hear the words of his coach. Andics stressed that the dogs examined were awake, loose and happy. “Participated voluntarily,” said the specialist.

On the other hand, research also found that when a person praises, the reward system of the dog, ie, the brain region that responds to pleasurable stimuli such as food, sex, activated or caresses. This happens only when the words and intonation of the match accolade. “The praise as a bonus only works if the intonation is consistent with the meaning” concludes Andics.
