Training methods for horses: habituation to a frightening stimulus.
REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY Responses of horses in frightening situations are important for both equine and human safety. Considerable scientific interest has been shown in development of reactivity tests, but little effort has been dedicated to the development of appropriate training methods for reducing fearfulness. OBJECTIVES To investigate which of 3 different training methods (habituati...
متن کاملCrayfish escape behavior and central synapses. II. Physiological mechanisms underlying behavioral habituation.
responsible for exciting the lateral giant neuron and initiating single tail flips in response to phasic mechanical stimuli to the tail of crayfish. It was shown that the excitation of some tactile interneurons by tactile afferents antifacilitates extensively at low repetition rates. This phenomenon must be presumed to contribute to the habituation of the response. It is not clear, however, tha...
متن کاملAutomated Real-Time Behavioral and Physiological Data Acquisition and Display Integrated with Stimulus Presentation for fMRI
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is based on correlating blood oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) signal fluctuations in the brain with other time-varying signals. Although the most common reference for correlation is the timing of a behavioral task performed during the scan, many other behavioral and physiological variables can also influence fMRI signals. Variations in cardiac and resp...
متن کاملBehavioral and Physiological Methods
Virtual reality (VR) systems enable the user to feel as if they are present in a computer generated environment. But how do we determine the extent to which a user feels present in the virtual environment? This chapter examines three categories of methods commonly used for measuring presence; their use in the field, advantages, and disadvantages. Subjective measures rely on self-assessment by t...
متن کاملHigh stimulus specificity characterizes anti-predator habituation under natural conditions.
Habituation is one of the most fundamental learning processes that allow animals to adapt to dynamic environments. It is ubiquitous and often thought of as a simple form of non-associative learning. Very little is known, though, about the rules that govern habituation and their significance under natural conditions. Questions about how animals incorporate habituation into their daily behaviour ...
