Dogs' Gaze Following Is Tuned to Human Communicative Signals
TL;DR: In this paper, eye-tracking techniques are used for studying dogs' social skills and the exploitation of human gaze cues depends on the communicatively relevant pattern of ostensive and referential signals in dogs.

Differential effects of speech situations on mothers' and fathers' infant-directed and dog-directed speech: An acoustic analysis
TL;DR: The results show that both parents hyperarticulate their vowels when talking to children but not when addressing dogs, suggesting that IDS and DDS have context-dependent features and support the notion that people adapt their prosodic features to the acoustic preferences and emotional needs of their audience.

Anna Gergely,Anna Gergely,Judit Abdai,Eszter Petró,András Kosztolányi,András Kosztolányi,József Topál,Ádám Miklósi +7 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that dogs' social behaviour is flexible enough to generalize from previous communicative interactions with humans to a novel unfamiliar partner, and this inference may be based on the dogs' well-developed social competence.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated dogs' social behavior in a problem solving situation (in which the dog has no access to the food) with three different partners: the Mechanical UMO (Unidentified Moving Object) and the Mechanical Human differed only in their embodiment, but showed similar behaviour toward the dog.
Social Interaction with an “Unidentified Moving Object” Elicits A-Not-B Error in Domestic Dogs
TL;DR: A better understanding of crucial features of agents that promote dog social behaviour is generated, which will facilitate the programming of robots for various cooperative tasks.
