Cognitive psychology denotes a 'script' to be a sequence of learnt behaviours expected for given situations.
In line with previous studies, birds showed a consistent sequence of behaviours during LAPS: ataxia, loss of posture, clonic/tonic convulsions, leg paddling and motionless.
The behaviours associated with LoT do not occur in isolation but as part of a sequence of caseload management behaviours that may be interdependent.
First, it is possible that the tasks we used did not adequately probe for perseveration (more specifically, recurrent perseveration, see Sandson & Albert 1984), perhaps because the intertrial interval in the two-choice guessing task in part A was relatively long at 150 s meaning that the birds could move away from the pecking panel and hence break a perseverative sequence of behaviour.
At mass spawning aggregations of giant cuttlefish (Sepia apama) in the Upper Spencer Gulf in South Australia, a wild female Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops aduncus) was observed and recorded repeatedly catching, killing and preparing cuttlefish for consumption using a specific and ordered sequence of behaviours.
Inter-rater reliability of the video analyses was exceptionally high (94%) when comparing both the frequency and the sequence of behaviours coded within a one-second-tolerance interval.
However, an accident or incident is a consequence of a sequence of HE and associated unsafe behaviour [19].
They consider a sequence of reversible reactions, representing the behaviour of the promoter of a hormone-sensitive gene.
We found that spiders followed the same sequence of behaviours to repair damage to their webs and the repair significantly increased the effective web area following damage.
Children with disabilities benefit from the introduction of Intensive Interaction Therapy in Montenegro in 2009 Intensive interaction is a practical approach to interacting with children with disabilities that involves eye-contact, facial expression, physical contact and body language, as well as the expanding sequence of behaviours with the child.
