A group of chemists from the University of Santiago de Compostela (USC) has developed a method to quantify the fragrance allergens found in baby bathwater.
Flom and two BYU students report their findings in the journal Developmental Psychology.
"We chose dogs because they are highly communicative creatures both in their posture and the nature of their bark," Flom said.
To reach the conclusion, the babies first saw two different pictures of the same dog, one in an aggressive posture and the other in a friendly stance. Then the researchers played - in random order - sound clips of a friendly and an aggressive dog bark.
"They only had one trial because we didn't want them to learn it on the fly and figure it out," Flom said.
While the recordings played, the 6-month-old babies spent most of their time staring at the appropriate picture. Older babies usually made the connection instantly with their very first glance.
