Our new postdoc Emily Bray recently published a study on maternal style in guide dogs in which she found that puppies with overattentive mothers were less likely to succeed as guide dogs. This work was conducted as part of her dissertation research at the University of Pennsylvania in collaboration with The Seeing Eye. The paper, Effects of maternal investment, temperament, and cognition on guide dog success, was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on August 7, 2017.
