The phrase "alternation behavior" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing patterns or changes in behavior, often in psychology or behavioral studies.
Example: "The study focused on the alternation behavior of subjects when faced with varying stimuli."
Alternatives: "switching behavior" or "alternating behavior".
While it is tempting to think that GluA1 is necessary for spatial working memory as described by Olton et al. (1979), and thus provides a model of working memory disorders in humans, it is important to consider alternative explanations for alternation behavior in rodents.
In a behavioral test for attention, spontaneous alternation behavior in the Y-maze test was impaired in SHR/Izm.
Similarly, the administration of acetate in the drinking water also partially improved the alternation behavior impairment.
In the Y maze test, oral administration with heat-killed or sonicated B. breve A1 partially improved the alternation behavior impairment (Fig. 4a).
Mice that had been intracerebroventricularly administered Aβ25-35 Aβ25-35a showedicant reduction of alternation behavior in the Y maze tesignificant with contreduction indicating that mice with Aβ25–35 shofed impalternationng memory (Fig. 1behavior
However, daily administration of B. breve A1 or treatment with donepezil, a centrally acting cholinesterase inhibitor, markedly attenuated this alternation behavior impairment to the same level as observed in control mice.
A significant group effect was observed in spontaneous alternation behaviors [F (4, 55) = 10.859, P < 0.001].
The number of maximum spontaneous alternation behaviors was then the total number of arms entered minus 2 and percent spontaneous alternation was calculated as (actual alternations/maximum alternations) × 100.
Some work suggests that the same EMA data collection intensity that causes concern may in fact attenuate reactivity by causing habituation [ 45]; however, it is likely that these findings reflect subtle shifts in day-to-day routines, given both the high level of diary submission as well as the majority of those who reported no alternation of behavior as a result of study participation.
Spatial alternation, win-shift behavior has been claimed to be a test of working memory in rodents that requires active maintenance of relevant, trial-specific information.
Since Olton's description of spatial alternation, win-shift behavior as a form of working memory, spatial working memory tests have been widely used to test animal models of disorders that cause disruption to working memory in humans.
