@luvtub – You are right, we can’t read someone’s mind, but we can.see their behavior. That is why psychology dubs itself the science of human behavior rather than what we’re really interested in.
When I look at my dog and wonder if there is some abstract thinking going on, I can’t see what he’s thinking but I can look at his behavior. What I know is that when I say “window” he appears to know in different contexts that means that the window has been opened and that he could stick his head out. The other abstraction that I’ve been watching is time, in trying to help him with separation anxiety. When I have to leave him I use different words to indicate how long I’ll be. So when I say “quick, quick,” what I am trying to say is that I will be in visual range (so that he can see me while I’m away), and will be back within 2 to 3 minutes. When I say “soon” he knows I’m going out of visual range and will be gone 5 To 15 minutes. The behavior I see is when he hears “quick quick” he stays calm (although watching me every minute) but if say”soon” he barks, appears anxious, and sometimes will crawl out of the car through a gap in the windows
I too have been doing Carbonite melts and watching an ad showing this new avengers movie, 3 times now. As a result I now have 17 shock troopers. Woo woo! I Only had 2 or 3 to start with. Unfortunately that level is way behind me.
