[Xmca-l] Re: [Xmca -l] sociocultural theory of sentient beings

​That video is thought provoking, Annalisa. I'll have to try it with my dog.

There are other dog behaviors that seem to be analogues of human
behaviors. For example, in humans, around 9-10 months, infants begin
to display "social referencing" when they start to engage in behaviors
that they are uncertain about (a little kids crawls over the open drawer
where kitchen ware is stored, starts to grab a dish  and then looks back
at her father sitting on a chair behind her to check his reaction before
proceeding to pick up the dish or leave it where it is.

My dog does the same thing when we go for a walk and she is unsure of which
direction we are going to take, but she is in the lead on leash.

I do not see how to get that article, Alfredo. Our library does not get the
journal.
Can you obtain it?
