Social Cognition and Inequity Aversion and Other Words Cory Doesn't Understand with Dr Jim McGetrick

Good morrow, Idiot Army. This week we have another excellent guest, a friend of recent guest Dr Raffaela Lesch, and super genious from The University of Vienna (yes, Cory and Kent were disappointed to find out this is not where tiny hot dogs come from) Dr Jim McGetrick comes on to discuss social cognition and inequity aversion with dogs, and other animals. They discuss reactions in animals seeing other companions who get more, or less, of treats and how they react, how running tests is as much making sure your own bias is removed as making sure the dogs in the tests aren't smarter than you, and coop with humans, among other topics. Also, it wouldn't be a VM4IBI episode if we didn't have any issues- No, the Idiot Associate Producer Beth did not quit half way through, but her microphone did. You'll notice her sudden silence...she was with us in spirit...or something. Anyway, check out Jim's links, he has some incredible work with multiple focuses and animals.
