Training with Multiple Structurally Related Odorants Fails to Improve Generalization of Ammonium Nitrate Detection in Domesticated Dogs (Canis familiaris)

ANIMALS, 11(1).

By: D. Dorman n, M. Foster n & L. Lazarowski n

author keywords: canine; scent detection; improvised explosive device; categorical formation
TL;DR: The results suggest the use of authentic explosive materials, without the added complication of including category-learning methods, likely remains a cost-effective and efficient way to train explosive scent detection dogs. (via Semantic Scholar)

2015 journal article

A comparison of pet and purpose-bred research dog (Canis familiaris) performance on human-guided object-choice tasks

BEHAVIOURAL PROCESSES, 110, 60–67.

By: L. Lazarowski n & D. Dorman n

author keywords: Domestic dog; Object-choice task; Social cognition; Purpose-bred dog
MeSH headings : Animals; Behavior, Animal / physiology; Choice Behavior / physiology; Cues; Dogs / physiology; Gestures; Human-Animal Bond; Humans; Male
TL;DR: It is found that while pet dogs followed the momentary distal point above chance levels, research dogs did not, and the results indicate that ontogenetic experiences may influence a domestic dog's ability to use human gestures, highlighting the importance of testing different sub-populations of domestic dogs.

2015 journal article

A test for the evaluation of emotional reactivity in Labrador retrievers used for explosives detection

JOURNAL OF VETERINARY BEHAVIOR-CLINICAL APPLICATIONS AND RESEARCH, 10(2), 94–102.

By: B. Sherman n, M. Gruen n , B. Case n, M. Foster n, R. Fish n, L. Lazarowski n, V. DePuy, D. Dorman n

author keywords: emotional reactivity test; anxiety scores; selection criteria; behavioral screening; explosives detection dog
TL;DR: It is concluded that the ERT is a useful pre-training screening test that can be used to identify dogs with a low threshold of emotional reactivity for rejection, anddogs with a high threshold of emotions for entry into the IDD training program. (via Semantic Scholar)

2015 journal article

The use of an open-field model to assess sound-induced fear and anxiety-associated behaviors in Labrador retrievers

JOURNAL OF VETERINARY BEHAVIOR-CLINICAL APPLICATIONS AND RESEARCH, 10(4), 338–345.

By: M. Gruen n , B. Case n, M. Foster n, L. Lazarowski n, R. Fish n, G. Landsberg, V. Depuy, D. Dorman n, B. Sherman n

author keywords: military working dogs; open-field test; fear; anxiety; thunderstorm; gunfire
TL;DR: In general, candidate IED-detection Labrador retrievers responded to sound stimuli and recovered quickly, although dogs stratified in their response to sound stimulus, suggesting that dogs habituated to the open field arena. (via Semantic Scholar)

2014 journal article

Acquisition of a visual discrimination and reversal learning task by Labrador retrievers

ANIMAL COGNITION, 17(3), 787–792.

By: L. Lazarowski n, M. Foster n, M. Gruen n , B. Sherman n, B. Case n, R. Fish n, N. Milgram*, D. Dorman n

author keywords: Dog; Canine; Cognition; Visual discrimination
MeSH headings : Animals; Cognition; Discrimination Learning; Discrimination, Psychological; Dogs / psychology; Female; Male; Neuropsychological Tests; Pattern Recognition, Visual; Reversal Learning; Visual Perception
TL;DR: The present study confirmed that the modified TGTA system is suitable for cognitive evaluations in Labrador retriever MWDs and can be used to further explore effects of sex, phenotype, age, and other factors in relation to canine cognition and learning, and may provide an additional screening tool for MWD selection.

2014 journal article

Explosives detection by military working dogs: Olfactory generalization from components to mixtures

APPLIED ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR SCIENCE, 151, 84–93.

By: L. Lazarowski n & D. Dorman n

author keywords: Dog; Olfactory; Explosives; Odor mixtures
TL;DR: It was found that the majority of dogs (87%) trained with pure PC alone did not correctly signal the presence of one or more of four PC-based explosive mixtures. (via Semantic Scholar)
