Evidence of AAB, ABA, and ABC renewal procedures for instrumental response in elementary school children [0.03%] 小学儿童乐器反应的AAB、ABA和ABC重启程序的有效性证据
Rosalia Baiamonte,A Matías Gámez Rosalia Baiamonte
The reappearance of undesirable behaviours in educational settings, even after applying extinction techniques, remains a persistent challenge for educators. One mechanism that explains this phenomenon is the renewal effect, which has been w...
The investigation of sexual and interspecies disparities in spatial learning and memory across two rodent species [0.03%] 两种啮齿动物中空间学习和记忆的性别和种间差异的研究
Meilin Zhu,Jing Wang,Yifeng Zhang et al. Meilin Zhu et al.
Spatial learning and memory are critical for animal survival, enabling adaptation to changing and unpredictable environments. These abilities enhance competitiveness and fitness by supporting navigation, resource acquisition, and predator a...
Variation in natural color influences mate choice in a fiddler crab (Leptuca leptodactyla) [0.03%] 自然色彩的变异影响招潮蟹(Leptuca leptodactyla)的择偶偏好
Beatriz Aparecida de Souza,Daniel Marques Almeida Pessoa Beatriz Aparecida de Souza
In several species, natural variation in visible and ultraviolet (UV) light reflectance has been linked to individual reproductive quality. However, when evaluating the value of UV information, most studies employ experimental treatments th...
Responsiveness to sound temporal features at realistic signal presentation rates in a temperate austral forest frog, Batrachyla leptopus (Batrachylidae) [0.03%] 温带澳大利森林蛙(Batrachyla leptopus)对现实信号呈现速率下的声音时间特征的反应敏感性研究
Mario Penna,Rigoberto Solís,Felipe N Moreno-Gómez Mario Penna
Evoked vocal responses of male frogs are quite selective for temporal features contained in conspecific calls. However, responses to sound features not contained in natural vocalizations can also elicit evoked calling, indicating a relative...
The elusive nature of forward blocking effect on running-based taste aversion learning in laboratory rats [0.03%] 前向阻断对实验大鼠基于跑步的味觉厌恶学习的影响之谜
Sadahiko Nakajima,Iho Hasegawa,Maria Nakao et al. Sadahiko Nakajima et al.
It is well documented that rats learn to avoid a taste solution consumed immediately before voluntary running in activity wheels, which represents a form of Pavlovian aversive conditioning based on the taste-running association. Although va...
Same-sex love triangles in female monkeys: Intra-sexual mate competition between female Japanese macaques for female sexual partners [0.03%] 雌性猴子同性恋爱三角关系:雌性日本猕猴之间争夺雌性性伴侣的性选择竞争
Noëlle Gunst,Jean-Baptiste Leca,Paul L Vasey Noëlle Gunst
While most reports of intra-sexual mate selection occur in the reproductive context of heterosexual interactions, this study aims to explore the behavioral mechanisms and evolutionary significance of a few rare cases of intra-sexual competi...
Julia L Self,Ron R Togunov,Mark A Edwards et al. Julia L Self et al.
Odours are emitted from organic matter and can contain important information about an animal's surroundings, including the presence and location of other organisms. Wind acts as a conduit of olfactory information, affecting the spread and d...
Effects of a timeout contingency on the development of resurgence: an exploratory study with rats [0.03%] 超时控制对行为再现发展的影响:一项使用大鼠的探索性研究
Carlos J Flores,L Rebeca Mateos,Kenneth D Madrigal et al. Carlos J Flores et al.
This experiment assessed the effects of a timeout (TO) contingency for target responding during treatment, on the development of resurgence. Rats were exposed to a two-component multiple schedule (VI 30-s VI 30-s) across three phases. In th...
Reduction in Locomotor Activity and Freezing Time: A Dual Measure for More Accurate Fear Response in Rats [0.03%] 降低运动活动和凝固时间:作为大鼠恐惧反应更精确的双重测量指标
Xin Yin,Orestis Germanos,Nikolas Dietis Xin Yin
Fear conditioning serves as a cornerstone behavioural test for modelling disorders, such as Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and clinical anxiety, and for evaluating memory. The traditional measure of fear response, namely freezing tim...
C A Rangel-Patiño,C A Mastachi-Loza,J M Carmen-Cristóbal et al. C A Rangel-Patiño et al.
Foraging is a demanding activity for species that search intensively for food, and learning may help them minimise the costs associated with feeding. In different species, there is a relationship between personality (risk-taking) and learni...
