<sod>As with humans, dog intelligence refers to such cognitive skills such as short and long-term memory, sensitivity to social cues, planning, creativity, and problem solving. The first intelligence test for dogs was developed in 1976. It included measurements of short term memory, agility, and ability to solve problems such as detouring to a goal. It also assessed the ability of a dog to adapt to new conditions and cope with emotionally difficult situations. The test was administered to 100 dogs and standardized, and breed norms were developed.<ref>{{cite book |last=Coon |first=Kathy|title=the dog intelligence test |year=1977 |publisher=[[Avon Books]] |isbn=0-380-01903-5 }}</ref> [[Stanley Coren]] used surveys done by dog obedience judges to rank dog breeds by intelligence and published the results in his book ''[[The Intelligence of Dogs]]''.<eod>
