"Canine Aging and Intelligence: The Impact of Socialization and Exercise on Dementia Prevention"
TL;DR Summary
A study by researchers at ELTE reveals that dogs possess a general cognitive factor, akin to the 'g factor' in humans, encompassing problem-solving and learning abilities, which declines with age and is influenced by health status. This finding not only advances our understanding of canine cognition and its parallels with human intelligence but also underscores the potential of dogs as model species for aging research.
