Many dog owners believe their pets can read human emotions with great accuracy, and even detect when people are lying to them. A new study may prove them right.
We investigated whether dogs distinguish between human true and false beliefs . In three experiments with a pre-registered change of location task, dogs could retrieve food from one of two opaque buckets after witnessing a misleading suggestion by a human informant who held either a TB or a FB about the location of food.
In the second set of experiments, dogs watched another person move the food from the first bowl to another bowl in two situations: the communicator was present, saw what was happening, and knew the food had been moved from the original bowl; and when the communicator wasn't there, didn't see the switch, and thought the food was still in the original bowl.
