卓越的表现存在于各种人类活动中，但其起源是有争议的，研究具有挑战性。我们报告的证据异常的性能和质的变化，在学习对象的名称在狗。在为期2年的地球仪搜索中发现了34只天真的家庭犬和6只知道多个玩具名称的知识渊博的个体，他们接受了3个月的训练，以学习两个新的玩具名称，并进行了双向选择测试。只有1只幼稚犬和所有6只有知识的犬通过了测试。此外，只有这些狗在3个月内学会了至少10个新的玩具名称，显示出这种能力的质的变化。虽然先前的物体名称知识可以为知识渊博的狗的上级表现提供解释，但它们的稀有性和先前缺乏这种技能的训练表明这些个体具有特殊的天赋，为将狗建立为研究天赋的模型物种提供了基础。
Exceptional performance is present in various human activities but its origins are debated and challenging to study. We report evidence of exceptional performance and qualitative variation in learning object-names in dogs. 34 naïve family dogs and 6 knowledgeable individuals that knew multiple toy names, found in 2 years of search around the Globe, were exposed to 3 months of training to learn two novel toy-names and were tested in two-way choice tests. Only 1 naïve and all 6 knowledgeable dogs passed the tests. Additionally, only these dogs learned at least 10 new toy names over the 3 months, showing qualitative variation in this capacity. Although previous object-name knowledge could provide an explanation for the superior performance of the knowledgeable dogs, their rarity and the absence of previous training of this skill point to exceptional giftedness in these individuals, providing the basis to establish dogs as a model-species for studying talent.
