最近，许多实验研究都对狗的社交认知能力（包括沟通技巧和视觉注意线索的使用）进行了调查。本文报告了对自然环境中家犬行为的研究，这些行为显示出在进行二元打闹游戏时对其伴侣的视觉注意力很敏感。在整个比赛过程中，我们记录了两只狗的连续行为和头部方向。根据合作伙伴的姿势，不同地使用这些行为。游戏信号几乎专门发送给面向前方的同类；引起注意的行为最常在玩伴背向别处时以及表示有兴趣玩耍之前使用。此外，吸引注意力的模式与玩伴注意力不集中的程度相匹配：当玩伴看向别处或分心时，会使用较强的吸引注意力的方式，而当伙伴面朝前方或侧向时，会使用较弱的吸引注意力的方式。换句话说，这些狗表现出对其他狗的一种调节其反应能力的特征的关注，并采取行动进行操纵：这种特征在人类互动中被称为“注意力”。
The social cognitive capacities of dogs, including their communication skills and use of visual attention cues, have recently been investigated in numerous experimental studies. This paper reports on research of domestic dog behavior in a natural setting, which shows sensitivity to the visual attention of their partners when engaged in dyadic rough-and-tumble play. The sequential behaviors and head-direction of both dogs were noted throughout the bouts. The behaviors were differentially used according to the partner's posture. Play signals were sent nearly exclusively to forward-facing conspecifics; attention-getting behaviors were used most often when a playmate was facing away, and before signaling an interest to play. In addition, the mode of attention-getter matched the degree of inattentiveness of the playmate: stronger attention-getters were used when a playmate was looking away or distracted, less forceful ones when the partner was facing forward or laterally. In other words, these dogs showed attention to, and acted to manipulate, a feature of other dogs that mediates their ability to respond: which feature in human interaction is called "attention".
