通过整合生物学理论、控制系统理论和巴甫洛夫条件反射,可以扩展分析社会行为的概念和研究工具。生物学理论从生态和进化的角度关注社会行为的成本和收益。相反,控制系统理论关注的是机器如何实现特定的目标或目的。系统的准确操作通常需要前馈机制,以根据未来输入的预期来调整系统性能。巴甫洛夫条件反射非常适合在行为系统中实现这一功能。巴甫洛夫机制已经在性行为、母亲哺乳和婴儿哺乳的各个方面得到证实。巴甫洛夫条件反射的竞争行为也有报道,巴甫洛夫过程可能同样涉及社会游戏和社会梳理。进一步的证据表明,巴甫洛夫条件反射可以提高社会交往的效率和有效性,从而提高其成本/效益比。我们将巴甫洛夫的概念扩展到传统的离散分泌和其他生理反射领域之外,以复杂的现实世界行为相互作用,并将对联想学习机制的抽象实验室分析应用于动物在自然环境中相互作用时面临的日常挑战。
The conceptual and investigative tools for the analysis of social behavior can be expanded by integrating biological theory, control systems theory, and Pavlovian conditioning. Biological theory has focused on the costs and benefits of social behavior from ecological and evolutionary perspectives. In contrast, control systems theory is concerned with how machines achieve a particular goal or purpose. The accurate operation of a system often requires feed-forward mechanisms that adjust system performance in anticipation of future inputs. Pavlovian conditioning is ideally suited to subserve this function in behavioral systems. Pavlovian mechanisms have been demonstrated in various aspects of sexual behavior, maternal lactation, and infant suckling. Pavlovian conditioning of agonistic behavior has been also reported, and Pavlovian processes may likewise be involved in social play and social grooming. Several further lines of evidence indicate that Pavlovian conditioning can increase the efficiency and effectiveness of social interactions, thereby improving their cost/benefit ratio. We extend Pavlovian concepts beyond the traditional domain of discrete secretory and other physiological reflexes to complex real-world behavioral interactions and apply abstract laboratory analyses of the mechanisms of associative learning to the daily challenges animals face as they interact with one another in their natural environments.
