The subjects were allowed to familiarize with both tests (reaction performance and Bond Lader Rating Scale) before the first experiment.
Five-day-old guppies allowed to familiarize with a tridimensional object for 20 min proved able, 30 min later, to discriminate the familiar object from a novel one differing in shape and color.
Subjects are allowed to familiarize themselves with each mode prior to recording.
All the tasks were first demonstrated to the participants and then they were allowed to familiarize themselves with the task; after that, the performances were recorded.
The animals were individually introduced to the novel environment (shock chamber) and allowed to familiarize to context for 3 min, after which the mice were trained to associate the context with a fearful unconditioned stimulus (US): foot-shock (0.2 mA).
Mice were allowed to familiarize themselves with the surroundings (context) for 120 seconds, followed by a 20-second, 70-dB tone (conditional stimulus) and then a delay of 25 seconds.
Prior to the experiments, the chickens were allowed to familiarize themselves with the surroundings and become accustomed to the noise made by the machine; they were placed close to it for 1 hour every morning for 2 weeks.
All animals were allowed to familiarize with one of the two objects for 24 h in their home cage (randomized for each strain and treatment i.e. half the animals of each testing group received a nut, the other half received a die) one day before the ORT.
Additionally, a training session was performed to allow viewers to familiarize with the assessment procedure and the software user interface.
The enterprise track is designed to allow students to familiarize themselves with the business aspects of the biotechnology and pharmaceutical labs they are likely to be joining.
This will allow everyone to familiarize themselves with their roles, and adapt their weapons if they choose to upgrade.
