Previous research has shown, horses tend to focus on negative or dangerous subjects with the left eye because the right hemisphere of the brain will assess danger. In the new experiment, the team found horses following the subject photographed with an angry expression with the left eye.
“We found that horses not only read human expressions but also remember their previous emotional states to correct their behavior when they met them,” said Karen McComb, a professor at the University of Sussex. Scientists already know horses can recognize expressions. However, the new finding shows that they can still remember an expression attached to a person’s face.
“We know horses have social intelligence, but this is the first time that mammals have been shown to have such abilities. Notably, this happened just by looking at a person’s photo for a short time. with certain expressions. They have no particularly positive or negative experience for this person, “says expert Leanne Proops at the University of Portsmouth.
