By use of a modified conditioned suppression technique, olfactory thresholds to amyl acetate were determined for four beagle dogs. Using the same odorant and olfactometer and a similar breathing chamber, olfactory thresholds were obtained in eight human subjects. It was determined that the olfactory sensitivity of the dogs was about 2.5 log units better than that of the human subjects.
通过使用改良的条件性抑制技术,测定了4只比格犬对乙酸戊酯的嗅觉阈值。使用相同的气味剂和嗅觉计以及类似的呼吸室,在8名人类受试者中获得了嗅觉阈值。结果表明,犬的嗅觉灵敏度比人类受试者高约2.5个对数单位。
