Various studies have established the importance of olfactory cues in the relational systems between conspecifics by the canids and humans. The study of the behaviour of dogs towards children with clothes impregnated with body odours has led to the definition of different functions of olfaction in interspecific relational systems. An experimental situation in kennels details the behaviour of dogs in response to different combinations of visual and olfactory stimulations reproduced with a realistic child dummy. The discussion of the results deals with the contingent socio-cognitive abilities of pet dogs and their relational strategies based on the integration of different sensory modalities present in the 'social' stimulations.
多项研究证实了嗅觉线索在犬科动物与人类的同种关系系统中的重要性。对狗针对穿着带有体味衣服的儿童的行为研究，促成了嗅觉在种间关系系统中不同功能的定义。犬舍中的一个实验情境详细描述了狗对用逼真的儿童模型再现的视觉和嗅觉刺激的不同组合所做出的反应。结果讨论涉及宠物狗的偶然社会认知能力以及它们基于 “社会” 刺激中存在的不同感官模态整合的关系策略。
