Early temperamental traits in an octopus (Octopus bimaculoides).
During their 3rd week of life, 73 Octopus bimaculoides were observed to test whether discrete behaviors could be grouped reliably to reflect dimensions of temperament. Frequencies of behaviors during Week 3 were subjected to principal-components analysis (PCA), resulting in 4 components (active engagement, arousal/readiness, aggression, and avoidance/disinterest) that explain 53% of the varianc...
متن کاملVisual Acuity in Octopus Pallidus and Octopus Australis
Specimens of Octopus pallidus and 0. australis were trained to discriminate vertical from horizontal rectangles, vertical from horizontal gratings, and vertical and horizontal gratings from uniform grey. In the discriminations that involved gratings a conditional simultaneous discrimination procedure was used, in which the two stimuli to be discriminated were presented stationary at the two end...
متن کاملOctopuses (Octopus bimaculoides) and cuttleWshes (Sepia pharaonis, S. oYcinalis) can conditionally discriminate
In complex navigation using landmarks, an animal must discriminate between potential cues and show context (condition) sensitivity. Such conditional discrimination is considered a form of complex learning and has been associated primarily with vertebrates. We tested the hypothesis that octopuses and cuttleWsh are capable of conditional discrimination. Subjects were trained in two maze conWgurat...
متن کاملElectromyography of the buccal musculature of octopus (Octopus bimaculoides): a test of the function of the muscle articulation in support and movement.
The buccal mass musculature of the octopus (Octopus bimaculoides) was studied with electromyography to test the predictions of a previous morphological study in which we suggested that the muscles of the buccal mass serve as both the effectors of movement and as the joint itself, forming a new category of flexible joint termed a ;muscle articulation'. The predictions of muscle function were tes...
متن کاملDelayed Responses in Octopus
Since Hunter's (1912) original experiment with rats, it has been shown that many animals can learn to choose correctly between identical shapes even though the signal indicating the correct choice is removed before the animal is allowed to make the choice. The period during which an animal can be kept waiting after the signal has been removed and still make the correct choice varies from specie...
