  • The Intelligence of Dogs a Guide to the Thoughts, Emotions, and Inner Lives of Our Canine
    Praise for The Intelligence of Dogs "For those who take the dog days literally, the best in pooch lit is Stanley Coren’s The Intelligence of Dogs. Psychologist, dog trainer, and all-around canine booster, Coren trots out everyone from Aristotle to Darwin to substantiate the smarts of canines, then lists some 40 commands most dogs can learn, along with tests to determine if your hairball is Harvard material.” —U.S. News & World Report "Fascinating . What makes The Intelligence of Dogs such a great book, however, isn’t just the abstract discussions of canine intelli­ gence. Throughout, Coren relates his findings to the concrete, dis­ cussing the strengths and weaknesses of various breeds and including specific advice on evaluating different breeds for vari­ ous purposes. It's the kind of book would-be dog owners should be required to read before even contemplating buying a dog.” —The Washington Post Book World “Excellent book . Many of us want to think our dog’s persona is characterized by an austere veneer, a streak of intelligence, and a fearless-go-for-broke posture. No matter wrhat your breed, The In­ telligence of Dogs . will tweak your fierce, partisan spirit . Coren doesn’t stop at intelligence and obedience rankings, he also explores breeds best suited as watchdogs and guard dogs . [and] does a masterful job of exploring his subject's origins, vari­ ous forms of intelligence gleaned from genetics and owner/trainer conditioning, and painting an inner portrait of the species.” —The Seattle Times "This book offers more than its w7ell-publicized ranking of pure­ bred dogs by obedience and working intelligence.

  • The Dominant Eye Clare Porac Stanley Coren University of Victoria University of British Columbia Victoria, Canada Vancouver, Canada
    Psychological Bulletin 1976, Vol. 83, No. 5, 880-897 The Dominant Eye Clare Porac Stanley Coren University of Victoria University of British Columbia Victoria, Canada Vancouver, Canada The dominant eye has often been denned as the eye whose input is favored in behavioral coordinations in which only one eye can be used, the eye pre- ferred when monocular views are discrepant, or the eye manifesting physio- logical or refractive superiority. Although its functional significance has not yet been ascertained, patterns of ocular dominance have been shown to be related to a large number of perceptual, performance, and clinical phenomena. The nature of these relationships has remained obscure due to the variety of alternative tests for and theoretical definitions of eye dominance. The members of a bilateral pair of struc- directly in front of oneself. Then, keeping tures in the body seldom exhibit perfect both eyes open, one aligns its tip with a point equality. Often, one member of the pair tends on a distant wall. If one alternately winks to be preferred over the other in behavioral each eye, the pencil will remain in good align- coordinations, or it seems to manifest physio- ment with the target for one eye's view; how- logical superiority. Thus, it is denned as ever, for the other eye's view, it will seem to dominant. If one consistently writes or throws be shifted out of alignment. This implies that a ball with the right hand, one is said to have the pencil and the distant point have been a dominant right hand. Likewise, if one al- aligned only in one eye's view, and the mis- ways kicks a ball with the left foot, this aligned view of the other eye has been ignored would be one's dominant foot.
