McComb suggests that cats may be cashing in on human's naturally nurturing response to a baby's cry.
McComb提出,猫可能利用了人类天然的对于婴儿哭喊哺育反射。
To understand just how cats vocally manipulate owners, including herself, McComb and her team set up a series of experiments.
为了了解猫咪们到底是怎么“声控”主人(McComb自己也包括在内),McComb和她的小组设置了一系列实验。
"But these findings are excellent, and a surprise, and definitely should spur more work," said McComb, who did not take part in the new study.
“但是这个发现非常棒,也很令人惊讶,并且一定可以启发更多的研究。”麦克康说,他并未参与这次研究。
Dr McComb said that the sharks not only have outstanding forward "stereo-vision" and depth perception, but a respectable stereo rear view too.
麦库姆博士说,这种鲨鱼不仅有不同凡响的向前“立体视觉”和深度知觉,而且有令人佩服的立体后视能力。
"We were very surprised, they really have remarkable vision," said Dr Michelle McComb, lead author of the study at Florida Atlantic university.
“我们非常吃惊,它们真的具有非凡的视野。”该研究报告主要作者佛罗里达大西洋大学的米歇尔·麦库姆博士说。
McComb got the idea for the study from her experience with her own cat, who would consistently wake her up in the mornings with a very insistent purr.
麦克·康姆想到研究她自己的经历,她和她的猫。这只猫总是能在早晨用一种非常急迫的声音将她叫醒。
So McComb and her team trained cat owners to record their pets' cries - capturing the sounds made by cats when they were seeking food and when they were not.
于是麦克·康姆和她的团队训练这些猫主人们给猫儿录音,记录下当猫儿寻找食物时的叫声和不在觅食时的叫声。
“Solicitation purring is probably more acceptable to humans than overt meowing, which is likely to get cats ejected from the bedroom, ” McComb said in a statement.
“对人类来说,恳求的呼噜声比明显的喵喵声更容易接受,后者很可能猫猫会被轰出卧室。” McComb声称。
McComb suggests that cats may be cashing in on human's naturally nurturing response to a baby’s cry. Previous studies have shown the cat’s embedded cry shares a similar frequency.
McCom认为猫可能利用了人类对婴儿哺育的自然生理反射,因为之前的研究显示猫的叫声与婴儿的哭声相似。
