Sleep deprivation effects on object discrimination task in zebrafish (Danio rerio).

abstract：:When trained in a rectangular arena, some research has suggested that rats are guided by local features rather than overall boundary geometry. We explored this hypothesis using the terrestrial toad, Rhinella arenarum, as a comparative contrast. In two experiments, toads were trained to find a water-reward goal locatio...

While some studies suggest that gestural repertoires are largely innate, others emphasize that gestures emerge and are shaped in social interactions with other conspecifics. There is agreement, however, regarding the negl...

To a biologist, interest in imitation is focused on its adaptive value for the survival of the organism, but to a psychologist, the mechanisms responsible for imitation are the most interesting. For psychologists, the most important cases of imitation are those that...

abstract：:The trap-tube problem is used to assess whether an individual is able to foresee the outcome of its actions. To solve the task, an animal must use a tool to push a piece of food out of a tube, which has a trap along its length. An animal may learn to avoid the trap through a rule based on associative processes, e.g. u...

One strategy is to make inferences by exclusion, i.e., perceiving the absence of reward as a cue that another location should be investigated. The use of such advanced cognitive strategies may be more prominent in species that are know...
