Dog beds

Wednesday, March 19, 2008 8:07 PM, Jen

This week I have been working really hard on my psychology research experience. We ave been doing some pretty simple, low level work with animal human responses. We just finished one experiment and now I am getting ready for the next one which will work a lot with some students in biology. I have to go out tomorrow and order some new dog beds and brand new toys for the experiment. I have to talk to my friend who works as a show dog trainer to find the perfect type of dog bed for our experiments. The dog toy excursion shouldn't be quite as intensive and I will just go out to the pet store and buy a big bulk load of assorted toys. We are testing different types of responses to animal conditioning of human biological facial features. I think it is pretty interesting stuff because we are trying to figure out eventually if people have the same type of responses to these same facial features or if dogs have a different brain system for deciphering their reactions to humans.
