Our research explores how our canine companions think and learn, and the ways in which this is similar to (and different from!) that of young children. In particular, how well can dogs understand what we say to them, and how does this compare to the way toddlers understand us?
Our research is made possible by people and dogs who generously take the time to visit our lab & participate in our studies. Visits are short and fun for all involved!
