Resumo

Ao longo das suas vidas, os cães têm a capacidade de formar fortes laços emocionais com as pessoas. Para além de se apegarem aos seus cuidadores, podem relacionar-se com sucesso com estranhos. Foram descritas várias características psicológicas gerais dos cães que sustentariam esta ligação e teriam permitido o desenvolvimento de capacidades sócio-cognitivas complexas dos mesmos. Este documento descreve e analisa as provas relativamente a três destas capacidades gerais: sociabilidade, docilidade e capacidade de sincronização com as pessoas. Estes foram propostos como importantes factores de selecção durante o processo de domesticação e demonstraram também ser flexíveis e modificados durante a ontogénese. São discutidas várias abordagens que nos permitem estudar a importância destas características, juntamente com outras características, para o desenvolvimento de uma ligação única entre os cães e as pessoas.

Actualmente es Investigadora Adjunta de CONICET en el Instituto de Ciencias Veterinarias del Litoral (ICIVET Litoral), UNL-CONICET. Santa Fe. Co-dirige el Grupo de Investigación en Comportamiento de Cánidos (ICOC) de CONICET. Su inicial interés fue estudiar las habilidades comunicativas inter-específicas en perros que viven en refugios. Actualmente trabaja en diversas líneas de investigación sobre los efectos del aprendizaje y la ontogenia en las conductas socio-cognitivas de los perros y otras especies. Presenta más de 20 publicaciones científicas, 5 capítulos de libro y un libro de divulgación científica. Ha realizado más de 60 presentaciones a congreso y eventos científicos y ha realizado diversas presentaciones como expositora en charlas de divulgación científica.
