The first article as part of my PhD has now been published! 🥳 Dog breeds differed from each other in several cognitive traits, such as inhibitory control (cylinder test), understanding of human gestures, spatial problem-solving (V-detour), and human-directed ("help-seeking") behaviour during an unsolvable task.

So I'm giving this place a try! I guess that means an #Introduction is in order. 😊

I'm a PhD student at #UniversityOfHelsinki in Finland. I research canine cognitive traits, and look at things such as heritability, breed differences, and associations with problem behaviour.

I'm fascinated by #AnimalBehaviour / #AnimalBehavior #AnimalCognition, #Ethology, #DogBehaviour, #CanineScience, #CanineCognition and #AnimalWelfare.

I have a #RescueDog called Jessie, and a little #DayGecko called Suki. 🦎
