Abstract
Infants have demonstrated object permanence understanding during violation of expectation tasks. During these tasks, infants are shown expected (e.g., ball stops at wall) or unexpected events (e.g., ball rolling through a solid wall). Infants look longer at the unexpected event versus the expected tasks (Stahl et al., 2015). Studies have shown that dogs also looked longer at an unexpected events during object permanence tasks (Pattison et al., 2010). In the current study, dogs were presented with a violation of expectation task commonly used with infants to investigate their object permanence abilities. It was hypothesized that dogs participating in the experiment would look longer at an unexpected event than an expected one.
