| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The foundation of human social intelligence lies in the ability to recognize others and to cooperate with others．Animals such as dogs and horses that live in cooperation with humans have not only been used as human-service animals, but also domesticated as companion animals that form social bond with humans. In this project, we conducted several lines of studies that investigate roles of various type of social signals exchanged between human and animals as non-verbal communications. As a result of studies indicated that these animals could recognize the emotional and cognitive states of humans through social signals, especially facial expression and gaze directions. These recognition abilities from the social signals were learned not only as the simple operant behavior but also as communicative signals through the interactive learning, in which both animals and humans learned each social signal interactively.
