Los perros, seres increíblemente sociables y estrechamente conectados con los humanos, han sido objeto de estudio durante muchos años en relación a su habilidad para percibir y comprender nuestras señales. Investigadores de la Universidad de Kyoto en Japón han estudiado en profundidad su inteligencia social y su capacidad para discernir la confiabilidad de las personas.
Estudios recientes publicados por la revista especializada Animal Cognition ha arrojado luz sobre la capacidad de los perros para evaluar rápidamente si una persona es digna de confianza o no, y ajustar su comportamiento en consecuencia. Para llevar a cabo esta investigación, se seleccionaron 34 perros que fueron sometidos a tres rondas de pruebas.
En la primera ronda, un técnico señalaba a los perros un recipiente con comida, lo cual constituía una señal confiable. En la segunda ronda, el recipiente señalado estaba vacío, lo cual representaba una señal engañosa. Sorprendentemente, en la tercera ronda, cuando el investigador volvía a señalar correctamente el recipiente con comida, los perros ya no respondían a la señal. Este comportamiento indica que los perros utilizan su experiencia previa para evaluar rápidamente si una persona es digna de confianza o no.
La capacidad de los perros para comprender los gestos humanos ha sido observada en numerosas ocasiones. Es frecuente ver a un perro seguir las indicaciones de su dueño cuando este señala la ubicación de un objeto o comida. Sin embargo, este estudio revela que los perros también pueden percibir si los gestos humanos son engañosos y actuar en consecuencia.
Lo más interesante es que, a pesar de haber experimentado el engaño en la segunda ronda, cuando un nuevo experimentador llevó a cabo la primera ronda nuevamente, los perros mostraron interés y confianza en esta nueva persona. Esto demuestra que los perros no generalizan su desconfianza hacia todos los humanos, sino que son capaces de discernir entre individuos específicos. Los investigadores quedaron sorprendidos por la rapidez con la que los perros evaluaron la fiabilidad de una persona.
Estos resultados indican que los perros tienen una inteligencia social más compleja de lo que se pensaba previamente. Durante su convivencia con los humanos a lo largo de la historia, han desarrollado habilidades cognitivas que les permiten comprender y responder de manera flexible a las señales sociales. No solo entienden los gestos humanos, sino que también pueden realizar deducciones sobre la confiabilidad de las personas y adaptar su comportamiento en función de ello.
En resumen, los perros demuestran no solo ser fieles y cariñosos compañeros, sino también poseer una destacada inteligencia social. Su habilidad para identificar rápidamente si una persona es confiable y ajustar su comportamiento en consecuencia es un claro indicio de su inteligencia y adaptabilidad. Al comprender los gestos humanos y evaluar la confiabilidad de las personas, los perros revelan un fascinante mundo interior que fortalece aún más el vínculo especial que compartimos con ellos.
