What animals see
Scientists think that many - perhaps most - animals cannot see colours. “The world is black and white to them."
To find out if dogs could see colours, scientists gave dogs food every time they played a certain piece of music. “The dogs got ready to eat only when they heard this piece of music. They did not get ready to eat when they heard other pieces of music.“
Then the scientists gave the dogs food every time they showed them a certain colour. The dogs got ready to eat when they saw this colour. The scientists then showed the dogs another colour. Again the dogs got ready to eat. The colours were all the same to them.
Colours are not all the same to monkeys, however. For example, if we put food in a red box, and do this every day, a monkey will always go to the red box to get the food. If we then put food in a blue box, the monkey won't go to it.

In the United States and Canada, it is very to look at a person directly in the eyes when you are having a conversation with him or her. If you look down or to the side when the other person is talking, that person will think that you are not in what he or she is saying. This, of course, is not . If you look down or to the side when you are talking, it might seem that you are not honest. However, people who are speaking will sometimes look away for a few seconds when they are thinking or trying to find the word. But they always turn back to look the listener directly in the eyes. These "rules" are the same for two men, two women, a man and a woman, or an adult and a child.
