Assessing equine emotional state (2018, background): “Past experience has been demonstrated to influence the way in which humans are appraised by horses (Fureix et al., 2009) and positive (reward associated) interactions were found to result in lasting positive memories of humans (Sankey et al., 2010a).”
The application of learning theory in horse training (2017, background): “In addition, the bond between horses and humans may be explained via attachment theory and this in turn is likely to affect learning outcomes if the animal’s attentional mechanisms are directed more toward one person than another (Fureix et al., 2009; Sankey et al., 2010).”
Effects of human-animal relationship on animal productivity and welfare (2020, background): “…the one hand, repeated encounters and, on the other, certain cognitive abilities; that is, the capacities that allow individuals to associate the positive or negative emotional content of interactions with another individual, and then recall it when predicting future encounters (Sankey et al 2010).”
