My Great Pyre pup likes all other dogs but went absolutely bananas when he saw another Great Pyre.

Understanding recognition is a major goal of cognitive science. The use of dogs for this study is a great idea. Ideally, we want to understand how children learn how to recognize things such as patterns. However, children are not reliable test subjects. One application would be in computer recognition programs. Cognitive science has improved my teaching of mathematics, because it proved that some of my ideas about thinking and learning were wrong. This research has merit.

As I was reading your reply, I simultaneously compared it to my school board (just re-elected for four more) experience and the fights I start and have about the 4th amendment violations and other rapes the public school system performs on innocent and disarmed children
I believe children ARE reliable test subjects, but it does depend on what test it is and what purpose the test is administered
Math is a clinical concept and should be easy ... IF a child has a thought pattern imbued by " moral" parents that is not twisted by the time YOU get them
Things like common core thought patterns are designed to initiate reliance on another entity for anything advanced and individual .... how can a child be uncommon if he is common ?
What can a girl do in this life with no math skills (theoretical comprehension, etc) nor a moral core sense of values ?
I'm not supposed to open a Pennsylvania school board meeting with prayer because the state supreme court has deemed it unconstitutional to do so
I did it once and my phone lit up the next day with threats
I'm rather enjoying being an old codger Patriot

Do dogs know .....
Let’s just stop right there, there are many other definitions other than “to know”.

Common core is a joke. I am an applied mathematician, not just a teacher. I was simply pointing out the value of cognitive science. Understanding how we think is useful. I have taught over 50 different courses (mostly math). Yet, imho cognitive science is a difficult subject.

Most of the dogs are oblivious, but the little one is skeptical.

I suspect eye placement plays a large role.
Predator versus prey.
Eye position defines who’s who.

This was French research.I know. I've also been amazed at how much U.S. money is given for foreign research.

A friend of mine owned an elderly dachshund and a Labrador. The Labrador took little notice of his pack member.
When the dachshund passed on, they adopted a Labrador puppy. The grown Labrador took complete notice of the new arrival.
Watching their interactions is fascinating.
