Dog learns over 1,000 words - dangoldin

I call shenanigans. The researcher wrote the name of each toy onto it with a
Sharpie - clearly the dog simply read the name off instead of memorizing all
1000 items.

There's just so much sloppy research out there.

I think it's funny that the dog's recall outpaced the researcher...

The article mentions the fact that humans can use context to help remember
words, but the dog has to use rote repetition. It's interesting that the
reliance on context that helps us learn stuff in general could mean that dogs
may actually be "better" at building a vocabulary of 1000+ unrelated names.

It doesn't sound like the researcher had any trouble remembering the words.
Just remembering which ones he had taught to the dog.

We humans define intelligence in such limited terms.

I have a border collie who's remarkably intelligent. But the words she knows
are just the beginning. She's incredibly perceptive. Gestures, facial
expressions, and vocal tone are all things she pays attention to.

Determining how intelligent an animal is by how much it can learn the words of
our language is a remarkably arrogant thing. We've clearly underestimated the
intelligence of every animal we've ever dealt with. We only ever revise our
estimates of animal intelligence upwards.

"We humans define intelligence in such limited terms." How would you define
intelligence, then? Being able to correctly respond to human emotional cues
has been evolutionally advantageous for dogs. They've had thousands of years
of coexistence to refine their instinctual abilities to "interpret" our
emotions, which leads to more attachment on our part, which leads
