NewzAccording to a study published in the journal Science and led by Hungarian researchers from Eötvös Loránd University, dogs segment continuous speech using a preference for consonants over vowels that is similar to humans. By comparing the brain activity of dogs and humans, the research indicates that both species tend to rely more heavily on consonants when identifying word boundaries in spoken language.
The findings provide new insights into how animals process human speech, demonstrating a shared cognitive tendency between dogs and humans in analyzing auditory information. The research highlights the neural mechanisms involved in language processing across species.
