00:00 New research proves your dog really does understand nouns like we do, and they're not just reacting based on the context.
00:09 Researchers in Hungary invited 18 dog owners and their pooches to a laboratory.
00:16 The owners brought five objects that their dogs knew well.
00:21 Sometimes the owner would present the object and say its correct name.
00:26 "Joel, Luke, Boa"
00:30 While other times they would say the wrong object name.
00:34 "Joel, Luke, Frisbee"
00:38 The scientists hypothesised that if dogs can visualise an object when they hear its name, that would appear in the dog's brain responses.
00:50 Which is exactly what happened.
