Sensitization of escape in femaleBetta splendens
Following 1 day of cohabitation with a male, female Siamese fighting fish showed heightened escape from male conspecifics (enclosed behind glass). Escape from males was general in that no particular male stimulus was required to provoke female escape. However, female conspecifics remained relatively attractive following exposure to a male. Tactile stimulation of females by males (biting, perhaps) plays some role and may be required in sensitizing…
Preference for the sites of fighting in two teleost species
Males of two species of freshwater fish (convict cichlids and Italian freshwater gobies) fought with conspecifics and subsequently remained near the visual and spatial cues that had been paired with those social encounters. These data show that postfight preference for combat sites is a phenomenon of some generality among teleosts. The likely role of learning in establishing postfight preferences for the locales of aggression is discussed.
Socially mediated learning in maleBetta splendens. III
In four experiments with male Siamese fighting fish, the classical conditioning of visual/spatial cues with elicitors of aggression was demonstrated. These studies show that this type of socially mediated learning is more rapidly conditioned than was previously known. One 15-min training session is adequate to condition a preference for those cues that had recently been paired with conspecific images. Finally, behavior occurring during acquisitio…
Environmental effects on the intake of overweight and normal-weight men
Replication Report
Female albino rats of the Sprague-Dawley strain, 31, 70, and 110 days of age, received 10 tests in an open field. The youngest animals increased their locomotor activity during successive tests; there was no increase among the older groups. Results demonstrate the hyperreactivity of immature rats and the possible role of this age-related effect on learning and memory is discussed
