Observational learning in Japanese quail.

Other participants played a prisoner's dilemma (social cooperation) game in which choices alternated so that overall reward-reducing consequences...

In this report, we propose a novel design for studying serial order learning in Pavlovian conditioning. In both Experiments 1a and 1b, hungry rats were trained with succes...

If rewards are too low to offset the costs of hoarding, hoarders might be expected to abandon hoarding and/or shift to an alternative storing strategy (e.g., increase food consumption). However the ability ...
