U.S.-Turkey Collaboration In Experimental Psychology (Science In Developing Countries)

技术说明：这个美国-土耳其合作研究项目涉及德克萨斯大学和Bogazici大学，研究的是动物学习和性行为的一般领域。项目资金将使Bogazici大学的Falih Koksal博士有机会在德克萨斯大学Michael Domjan博士的实验室工作11个月。他们的合作研究将集中在鹌鹑性行为的学习机制上。本研究的重点是视觉线索和语境在性条件反射中的作用。研究结果可以扩展提示-结果效应如何影响更复杂的巴甫洛夫条件反射的现有知识库。这个实验心理学项目通过使美国和土耳其的顶尖专家在共同感兴趣和能力强的领域结合互补的人才和集中研究资源，实现了推进科学知识的计划目标。

Technical Narrative: This U.S.-Turkey collaborative research project involving the University of Texas and Bogazici University is in the general areas of animal learning and sexual behavior. Project funding will enable Dr. Falih Koksal of Bogazici University the opportunity to work for 11 months in the laboratory of Dr. Michael Domjan at the University of Texas. Their collaborative research will concentrate on the learning mechanisms of sexual behavior in quail. The main emphasis of the work is concerned with the role of visual cues and context on sexual conditioning. Research results could expand the present knowledge base of how cue-to-consequence effects influence more complex Pavlovian conditioning. This project in experimental psychology fulfills the program objective of advancing scientific knowledge by enabling leading experts in the United States and Turkey to combine complementary talents and pool research resources in areas of strong mutual interest and competence.
