狗狗很少能记住物体的名字，而且被认为是独特的天赋。在少数情况下，这些有天赋的单词学习者（GWL）狗表现出与人类婴儿功能相似的认知技能。然而，对新物体名称的习得率和GWL狗形成长期记忆的能力尚不清楚。在这项研究中，我们研究了6只GWL狗在短时间内获得新物体名称并在没有习得后暴露的情况下将其保留在长期记忆中的能力。在实验1和实验2中，研究人员测试了狗在与主人的社交互动中，在一周内分别学习6个和12个新玩具的名字的能力。在实验3和4中，狗对这些物体的记忆在一个月和两个月后进行了测试。GWL狗通常会学习新物体的名称并记住它们。我们认为，具有物体名称知识的狗可能是研究非人类物种与单词习得相关的心理机制的有力模型。
Dogs with a vocabulary of object names are rare and are considered uniquely gifted. In a few cases, these Gifted Word Learner (GWL) dogs have presented cognitive skills that are functionally similar to those of human infants. However, the acquisition rate of new object names and the ability of GWL dogs to form long-term memories of those is unknown. In this study, we examine the ability of six GWL dogs to acquire the names of new objects in a short period and to retain those in their long-term memory without post-acquisition exposures. In Experiments 1 and 2, the dogs were tested on their ability to learn, during social interactions with their owners, the names of 6 and 12 new toys respectively, in one week. In Experiments 3 and 4, the dogs' memory of these objects was tested after one and two months. GWL dogs typically learned the names of the new objects and remembered those. We suggest that dogs with knowledge of object names could be a powerful model for studying mental mechanisms related to word acquisition in a non-human species.
