A study was conducted to explore the optical behavior of dogs while they are catching Frisbees. Findings revealed that dogs use the same viewer-based navigational heuristics as baseball players; that is, they maintain the target along a linear optical trajectory with optical speed constancy.

| Sumario: | A study was conducted to explore the optical behavior of dogs while they are catching Frisbees. Findings revealed that dogs use the same viewer-based navigational heuristics as baseball players; that is, they maintain the target along a linear optical trajectory with optical speed constancy. It is concluded that such findings confirm a common interception strategy that reaches across species and to complex target trajectories. |
