2013 Animal Cognition (in Press) 1 2 Deferred Imitation and Declarative Memory in Domestic Dogs 3 4
10 This study demonstrates for the first time deferred imitation of novel actions in dogs (Canis 11 familiaris) with retention intervals of 1.5 minutes and memory of familiar actions with 12 intervals ranging from 0.40 to 10 minutes. 13 Eight dogs were trained using the ‘Do as I do’ method to match their own behaviour to 14 actions displayed by a human demonstrator. They were then trained to wa...
متن کاملExploring Memory in Infancy: Deferred Imitation and the Development of Declarative Memory
Imitation is an important means by which infants learn new behaviours. When infants do not have the opportunity to immediately reproduce observed actions, they may form a memory representation of the event which can guide their behaviour when a similar situation is encountered again. Imitation procedures can, therefore, provide insight into infant memory. The deferred imitation paradigm require...
متن کاملSelective Imitation in Domestic Dogs
The transmission of cultural knowledge requires learners to identify what relevant information to retain and selectively imitate when observing others' skills. Young human infants--without relying on language or theory of mind--already show evidence of this ability. If, for example, in a communicative context, a model demonstrates a head action instead of a more efficient hand action, infants i...
متن کاملDeferred imitation by 6- and 9-month-old infants: more evidence for declarative memory.
Deferred imitation has recently surfaced as a hallmark measure of nonverbal declarative memory. In two experiments, we examined the developmental origins of deferred imitation during early infancy. Six- and 9-month-old human infants observed an experimenter perform specific actions with multiple objects. The infants' ability to reproduce those actions was assessed following a 24-hr delay. With ...
متن کاملThe deferred imitation task as a nonverbal measure of declarative memory.
We tested amnesic patients, patients with frontal lobe lesions, and control subjects with the deferred imitation task, a nonverbal test used to demonstrate memory abilities in human infants. On day 1, subjects were given sets of objects to obtain a baseline measure of their spontaneous performance of target actions. Then different event sequences were modeled with the object sets. On day 2, the...
