An adaptable microcomputer program for recording behavior durations.

Abstract:

:A versatile and easy to use program is described for monitoring and recording behavior durations on IBM-compatible microcomputers. The program also records frequencies and provides latency information. Among its more prominent attributes are its ability to accommodate a broad range of behavioral assays and the facility with which its operation can be mastered. It requires no specialized hardware and is capable of being used in conjunction with a number of commercially available software packages for statistical analysis.

  • Effects of medroxyprogesterone acetate on plasma testosterone and sexual behavior in male cynomolgus monkeys (Macaca fascicularis).

    abstract::Medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA), a synthetic progestin with androgen-depleting activity, is used to treat the deviant sexual behavior of men. To investigate the effects of MPA in another anthropoid primate, 16 oppositely-sexed pairs of cynomolgus monkeys were observed in one-hour behavior tests during 15 successive ...
