Animal Behavior ProgramNontechnical AbstractProposal #: 9817175PI: Timberlake, WilliamTitle: Search Modes and Repertoires in Traditional Pavlovian ParadigmsThe goal of this research is to develop a systems approach to motivated behavior that combines an ethological emphasis on naturally occurring behavior with a psychologist's precise analysis of how learning changes the form and probability of responses. The behavior systems approach attempts to resolve the split between ethologists and psychologists by assuming that the same substrate of sequential search states and perceptual-motor organization underlies the behavior of animals whether they are free-ranging or constrained. This research specifically tests how a sequence of search modes is revealed by and contributes to traditional laboratory phenomena in Pavlovian Conditioning, including the control of excitatory states by temporal duration and simple conditioned-stimuli, intertrial clocks, serial conditioned stimuli, higher-order conditioning, and backward conditioning. The results of this research should provide a specific but generalizable framework for integrating the field observations of natural scientists with the extensive laboratory research on learning in animals. By embedding foraging behavior in the sensory, motor, and motivational organization of a behavior system, the present approach provides a specific model that can predict behavior in the laboratory as well as in field and applied settings. A behavior systems framework should provide a basis for generating similar models for other species, and for defining more clearly the effects of neurophysiological and drug-related manipulations.

题目：传统巴甫洛夫范式中的搜索模式和谱本研究的目标是开发一种研究动机行为的系统方法，该方法结合了动物行为学对自然发生行为的强调，以及心理学家对学习如何改变反应形式和概率的精确分析。行为系统方法试图解决行为学家和心理学家之间的分歧，其假设是，无论是自由放养还是受约束的动物，其行为的基础都是相同的，即顺序搜索状态和感知运动组织。本研究特别测试了一系列搜索模式是如何被巴甫洛夫条件反射的传统实验室现象所揭示和贡献的，包括通过时间持续时间和简单条件刺激、试验间时钟、序列条件刺激、高阶条件反射和后向条件反射来控制兴奋状态。这项研究的结果应该为整合自然科学家的实地观察和广泛的动物学习实验室研究提供一个具体但可推广的框架。通过将觅食行为嵌入到行为系统的感觉、运动和动机组织中，本方法提供了一个特定的模型，可以预测实验室以及现场和应用环境中的行为。行为系统框架应该为为其他物种生成类似模型提供基础，并为更清楚地定义神经生理和药物相关操作的影响提供基础。
