Purpose: From an anthropological perspective of hominin communication, the human auditory system likely evolved to enable special sensitivity to sounds produced by the vocal tracts of human conspecifics whether attended or passively heard. While numerous electrophysiological studies have used stereotypical human-produced verbal (speech voice and…

Goble, Connie L.; Miller, Lucinda B. – Journal of Extension, 2014
The 4-H PetPALS Juvenile Diversion Program provides a partnership opportunity with Extension and the juvenile court system to positively impact lives of at-risk youth. At-risk youth are taught by 4-H PetPALS adult volunteer leaders and 4-H PetPALS members to value and respect the human-animal bond, as well as to understand and empathize with…

Suárez, Enrique – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2019
How should we define "equity and justice" when it comes to communities and countries with historical, political, and economic trajectories different than ours? In the article "Rethinking equity: standpoints emerging from a community project with victims of violence and abuse in Argentina," Castaño Rodríguez, Barraza, and Martin…

Thornton, Ian M.; Tagu, Jérôme; Zdravkovic, Suncica; Kristjánsson, Árni – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2021
Attention is known to play an important role in shaping the behaviour of both human and animal foragers. Here, in three experiments, we built on previous interactive tasks to create an online foraging game for studying divided attention in human participants exposed to the (simulated) risk of predation. Participants used a "sheep" icon…

Dolby, Nadine – Liberal Education, 2013
By nurturing empathy through a liberal education, educators can help their students understand their connections to other humans, animals, and the planet--and perhaps, eventually, find their way back to themselves. The author often use case studies in her undergraduate classes. The author wrote a new case study called "Toys for Haiti."…

Dolby, Nadine; Litster, Annette – Teaching in Higher Education, 2015
A new emphasis on "non-technical competence" in veterinary medical education has drawn attention to the reality that veterinarians are not solely technicians, but instead take on a wide variety of roles in their daily practice. This article discusses one largely overlooked role that veterinarians engage in on a regular basis--that of…

Taverna, Andrea S.; Medin, Douglas L.; Waxman, Sandra R. – Early Education and Development, 2016
Across the world, people form folkbiological categories to capture their commonsense organization of the natural world. Structured in accordance with universal principles, folkbiological categories are also shaped by experience. Here we provide new evidence from the Wichi--an understudied indigenous community who live in the Chaco rainforest and…

In humans, microbial organisms known as the microbiota, normally colonize airway passages, skin, the oral cavity, the gastrointestinal tract, and the vagina. There is a growing body of evidence linking the gut microbiota with the overall health of its host. Normally, the microbes that make up the microbiota coexist with a human or animal host…

Bradley, Jordana – ProQuest LLC, 2013
According to No Child Left Behind, teachers must consider alternative teaching strategies to improve student achievement. The use of a facility dog as an instructional enhancement is an innovative teaching approach that deserves further research. The theoretical framework for the study was human-animal bond theory, which postulates that…

Wong, Yau Yan; Faikhamta, Chatree – Cultural Studies of Science Education, 2021
Modern lifestyle that is based on ideologies such as consumerism, individualism and materialism has led to overconsumption, mass extinction and climate change in the world and threatens the wellbeing of every member on this planet. An increasing number of studies indicate that mindfulness practice may address the socio-ecological challenges of…

Varenne, Herve, Ed. – Routledge Research in Education, 2019
This volume investigates the ubiquitous education of everyday life as people contest the normal, settle on a new convention, and deal with the difficulties that arise. By documenting adolescent Dominican girls, young men in Silicon Valley, successful venture capitalists, and others imagining, explaining, and challenging the status quo, this book…

Ylinen, Sari; Bosseler, Alexis; Junttila, Katja; Huotilainen, Minna – Developmental Science, 2017
The ability to predict future events in the environment and learn from them is a fundamental component of adaptive behavior across species. Here we propose that inferring predictions facilitates speech processing and word learning in the early stages of language development. Twelve- and 24-month olds' electrophysiological brain responses to heard…

Ford, Talitha C.; Crewther, David P.; Abu-Akel, Ahmad – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2020
Continued human and animal research has strengthened evidence for aberrant excitatory-inhibitory neural processes underlying autism and schizophrenia spectrum disorder psychopathology, particularly psychosocial functioning, in clinical and nonclinical populations. We investigated the extent to which autistic traits and schizotypal dimensions were…

Jalongo, Mary Renck – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2015
Understanding the process of attachment formation in young children has been a focal point in child development research for decades. However, young children's attachments are not only with human beings; they also form bonds with companion animals, particularly dogs ("Canis familiaris"). Given the number of dogs that are kept by families…

Rautio, Pauliina – Environmental Education Research, 2013
Rather than categorically teaching us ways to be less anthropocentric, environmental education could be about educating us of the ways in which we already are nature as human animals. In this paper, one species-specific practice of human relating to environment--interspecies articulation--is argued as one way of being nature. Interspecies…
