The news cat was always thinking of the owner ... The survey result was that he always tracked his place in his head.
It looks like it's worthwhile, is it actually the owner?Jarek Fethke-Istock
Studies revealed that cats were "envisioning their heads in their heads", even when their owners were invisible. The cat is chasing the movement while relying on the owner's voice to create a mental image. [Video] "Too cute and die." An animal -loving kitten who imitates a rabbit is an animal -loving agony, and the research team centered on Saho Takagi, a special researcher of Azabu University, has completed a doctoral program at Kyoto University at Kyoto University. Using strangers, we conducted a series of experiments about cats. According to the U.S. Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), 58,385,725 cats were kept in the United States in 2017-18. One household had at least one cat in the four households. Cats are generally considered to have more attitude toward their owners than dogs. A 2013 study revealed that cats were recognizing the owner's voice, but they were ignored. In this study, which was published on November 10, 2021 in the recipient academic journal "PLOS ONE", a research team led by Takagi conducted three experiments, and cats are environmentally friendly (in this case (in this case, the owner. Based on the voice, we examined whether the owner's whereabouts were spontaneously chasing. In the first experiment, the cats were told five times the owner recorded the voice of the cat's name. After the fifth time, one of the two speakers installed was played in one of the sounds that strangers call the name or the voice that the owner calls the name. One speaker was outside the room, and the other speaker was installed indoors. The recorded voice was played in various combinations. ■ The cats that were surprised by the voice from the unexpected place seemed to be surprised by the fact that the owner called the cat's name from a speaker installed indoors. In the other two experiments, the sounds of another cat and the voice other than the voice were played. There was no correlation with the surprise of the stimulation. The research team stated that the cat was surprised that the owner's voice, who thought he was not in the room, heard indoors. "The results of the experiment show that the owner seemed to have" moved instantly "to another place that the cat had expected. On the other hand, in experiments using non -social stimuli. The cat did not show such a reaction. " "These results suggest that cats create the mental image of the owner in an invisible place based on the owner's voice, and imagine where they are. This is a social space. Evidence of recognition ability. "The research team was not in the place where the cat was surprised because the owner appeared in an unexpected place, or he was" envisioned "that he would have the owner. It is unknown, and he states that further research is needed. (Translation: Galileo)
