Abstract:
Dogs (Canis familiaris) and cats (Felis silvestris catus) have been domesticated through different processes. Dogs were the first domesticated animals, cooperating with humans by hunting and guarding. In contrast, cats were domesticated as predators of rodents and lived near human habitations when humans began to settle and farm. Although the domestication of dogs followed a different path from that of cats, and they have ancestors of a different nature, both have been broadly integrated into-and profoundly impacted-human society. The coexistence between dogs/cats and humans is based on non-verbal communication. This review focuses on \"gaze,\" which is an important signal for humans and describes the communicative function of dogs\' and cats\' eye-gaze behavior with humans. We discuss how the function of the gaze goes beyond communication to mutual emotional connection, namely \"bond\" formation. Finally, we present a research approach to multimodal interactions between dogs/cats and humans that participate in communication and bond formation.
摘要:
狗(犬)和猫(Felissilvestriscatus)已通过不同的过程被驯化。狗是最早被驯养的动物,通过狩猎和守卫与人类合作。相比之下,当人类开始定居和耕种时,猫被驯化为啮齿动物的捕食者,并生活在人类栖息地附近。尽管狗的驯化与猫的驯化路径不同,他们有不同性质的祖先,两者都已经广泛地融入并受到了深刻的影响。狗/猫和人之间的共存是基于非语言交流。这篇评论的重点是“凝视,“这对人类来说是一个重要的信号,描述了狗和猫的眼睛注视行为与人类的交流功能。我们讨论了凝视的功能如何超越交流到相互的情感联系,即“债券”形成。最后,我们提出了一种参与交流和债券形成的狗/猫和人类之间的多模态相互作用的研究方法。
