The first and second test sessions combined positive patterning training with test trials; however during testing it became apparent that there were too few test trials to produce a sufficiently large sample of behaviour, and so the third test omitted the positive patterning training trials.
He calls the book "not a museum piece" but (and note the careful wording) "a sampler of behaviours and feelings we can very nearly have only through reading".
On the other hand, even the trial-and-error behaviour of an animal in a simple selective-learning situation does not consist of a completely blind and random sampling of the behaviour of which the learner is capable.
These factors could make a short sampling of foraging behaviour less reliable as an indicator of male quality than traits such as song complexity and beak colour, which reflect a male's developmental quality or condition over a more extended period of time [67], [68].
Barb said its viewing panel consisted of 5,100 households, each representing about 5,000 households across the UK, to give an accurate sample of viewing behaviour across the nation's 26 million households.
In the Manual, an average total problems score of 9.1 (SD = 4.1) is reported for trained observers rating 10-min samples of classroom behaviour for referred children.
Ecological momentary assessment refers to the repeated sampling of participants' current behaviours and experiences in real time, in participants' natural environments.
Redesigned collars were attached to four females that already were going to be captured for blood samples on a study of behaviour and energy expenditure led by USGS research biologist Anthony Pagano.
The increase in known localities is probably related to previous lack of sampling and cryptic behaviour of crocodiles.
It is highly conceivable, therefore, that this same concept is also applicable to the horse [ 37] and, in this context, may be determined by correlating the aforementioned periodic sampling of heart rate with behaviour and performance of the individual animal.
