Chaser, The Dog Who Knows 1000 Words



How many words of dog language do you know?

Oh, that’s right, dogs aren’t supposed to have a language with words. They merely have a communication system, where their barks, whines, growls, raised heads and wagging tails are simple expressions of emotion, but nothing to do with words. What a relief!

But what if it isn’t true? What if dogs have a language of their own, with gestures, growls, and barks that are the equivalent of words and sentences? What then?

Scientists who have been interested in knowing whether animals have language have often tried a back-door approach. If you can teach an animal a human language (or something artificial made up by people) then it might imply that the animal has the cognitive capacity to have a language of its own. No guarantee, of course, but at least it shows the possibility.

To this end, we have had studies of teaching sign language to chimps (such as Washoe), teaching keyboard symbols to bonobos (such as Kanzi), teaching English words to parrots (such as Alex), and teaching artificial gestural and sound languages to dolphins (such as Akeakamai and Phoenix).

And what do you know, they all can understand, and some can or could communicate back to the experimenters, much to the chagrin of the naysayers who insist that language is exclusively the property of people.

As far as dogs go, a group of scientists reported in 2004 that the Border Collie Rico could understand 200 words, and if given a task of retrieving an object whose name Rico did not know from among a group of objects whose names he did know, he could make the intellectual leap and assume that the unknown name that was given stood for the one object whose name he did not know.

Now comes an article in the scientific literature about a Border Collie called Chaser, who knows more than 1000 words (Pilley, J.W. and A. K. Reid, 2011. Border collie comprehends object names as verbal referents. Behavioural Processes, doi:10.1016/j.beproc.2010.11.007).

Over a three-year period, Chaser learned the names of more than 1000 objects (specifically, 1022 objects), which were all proper nouns relating to stuffed toys, Frisbee-like objects, or balls. Like Rico, she could retrieve an object whose name she did not know, when she was asked to find that object from among a series of objects whose names she knew. She could also understand broad categories, such as “toy”, “ball”, and “Frisbee” and could correctly select the right kind of object when told to fetch, for example, a “ball” from a selection of objects that included a number of other things.

Even more impressive, for those of us whose dogs chew our slippers, is that Chaser learned to distinguish between “toy” and “non-toy” when the objects were very similar. Toys were things she was allowed to play with. Non-toys were similar objects that she could see but was not allowed to touch, such as cloth animals, balls, dolls, or shoes that were visible to her. So she generalized the categories “toy” and “non-toy” by function: “toys” were things she was allowed to play with, and “non-toys” were things she was forbidden to touch.

It looks like Chaser could understand a lot of what was said to her. The experimenters did not specifically test for her understanding of sentences, but when they told her: “Fetch the ball,” that pretty-much implies that she could understand sentences at some level.

So much for the argument that dogs only understand your tone of voice.

And by the way, how many words of dog language do you know?

Thanks for stating the obvious Vulcanic, cheers for that.

Just cusrious, since you raised it, who exactly states that fish do not have feelings? Also, some people eat dog as a food source and I need not mention that I wouldn't beat anyone with any living creature but I will mention it.


It always facinates me to hear people state their so called facts on some religious teachings.

We can't make assumptions on what we do not actually know, just because something does not respond to us in the way we understand or can associate with, is not indicative of anything other than the fact that we do not understand... understand?

cheers

when it comes to god is there really any facts? lol
yeah i know people eat dogs but most do it fast swift,

these dogs are beaten for hours , they believe the fear from the dog releases chemicals in the brain that makes the meat taste better....

if i am correct its been awhile but the god enki said fish from primevil sea..

mainstream science says :

THE RESEARCH FOUND that fish have pain receptors in their heads and that subjecting them to noxious substances causes "adverse behavioral and physiological changes."

thats how we know if you feel pain or not if you have pain receptors.

I personally believe every living thing feels pain love ect ect even insects, but thats just my belief and is not 100% proven.


but again this is a trick question, not all fish are the same so what fish the ancients are talking about is unknown. and ancient science was not as good as science today so what they mighta thought was not alot of blood, water is cold one must be numb to live in coldness? who knows..

but my point was fish do not help man in anyway at all...

but look up my forums i got sources and everything in my threads can be researched and looked up, alot people here know i don't talk outta my ass so. and if i am wrong i'm happy to be corrected and admit my mistakes.

but look up mainstream sumerian translations not stitchens i am pretty sure thats where i first read it from. (might be wrong, if so its nords, one of the 2.

I suppose this is how rednecks take care of two problems at the same time.


Instead of beating the dog and the female separately, he just made it a more efficient process.


Now, let's see how he handles the horse, the chickens, the goat, his truck and the beer cans.
