How Dogs Navigate to Catch Frisbees.
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...

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. pubtype: Periodical doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
