The characteristics of 227 biting dogs, their homes, and their victims were gathered in a detailed telephone survey of general veterinary clientele in the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. All of the dogs had bitten either someone living in the same household, or someone who was a frequent visitor and was well known to the dog. There were 117 male and 110 female dogs included in this case series. Significantly more female dogs were neutered (P=0.03), 58% of the dogs were purebred, and the most commonly reported breed was the Labrador Retriever (n=15). The mean number of people living in each home was 3.13 (S.D.±0.08). Aggression which would traditionally be defined as dominant or possessive had been demonstrated by 75.6% of the dogs in at least one of 17 specific situations outlined in the questionnaire. Dogs with a history of this type of aggression were significantly older (P=0.02) and of lower body weight (P<0.001) when compared to the remainder of the dogs, and were more likely to be fearful of a variety of stimuli. The effect of fear in these dogs may be important in understanding the motivation for and treatment of aggression problems. For what the owner considered to be the worst bite incident, 42.4% could be attributed to behaviour which appeared to be characteristic of dominant or possessive aggression. If the reason for the worst bite incident was related to the commonly accepted criteria for dominance aggression, then the dogs were more often male and purebred. Owners of these dogs were also more likely to rank the bite as a more serious event (P=0.001). Adults were the most common victims of dog bites, and most injuries were to the hands and arms (56.2%). A minority of injuries (9.3%) received medical attention, supporting previous evidence that dog bites are greatly underreported. A bite requiring medical attention was scored as a more important incident by the owner and was more likely to have caused the ow

Les habiletés complexes que l’on peut observer chez des personnes exerçant une activité manuelle mettent en jeu les deux mains de façon complémentaire. Ces habiletés, qui se sont développées au cours de l’évolution et qui peuvent exiger une vie d’apprentissage, se mettent en place pour l’essentiel au cours de l’enfance. Le présent ouvrage lie de façon originale le thème du développement des habiletés manuelles à celui des coordinations bimanuelles. Après avoir retracé l’émergence des habiletés manuelles d’un point de vue philogénétique, puis défini les principes de base de la coordination bimanuelle et les principales contraintes qui la caractérisent, il explore les structures physiologiques concernées, en portant l’accent sur la latéralité hémisphérique et sur le corps calleux, par lequel s’opère la majorité des échanges interhémisphériques. Puis l’auteur analyse le changement avec l’âge de ces structures et de leur fonctionnement, décrit le développement des coordinations visuo-manuelles et bimanuelles, avant d’approfondir les aspects liés à la latéralité. Le dernier chapitre, enfin, rend compte des principaux cadres théoriques permettant de comprendre le développement de ces habiletés. Par son approche pluridisciplinaire – historique, psychologique, physiologique, neuro-développementale -, cet ouvrage de référence sans équivalent en langue française est susceptible de répondre aux attentes des universitaires, chercheurs et étudiants en psychologie cognitive et en psychologie du développement, mais aussi aux chercheurs et professionnels de l’éducation physique et sportive, aux psychomotriciens et aux ergonomes.
