RUI: Structure of Exploratory Behavior

探索是一个非常基本的，突出的和生物学的 哺乳动物的重要行为。 同时， 并涉及重要的经验和发展参数。 雷纳博士的研究项目包括几项调查 旨在提供有关 大鼠自发的探索行为。 这一目标将是 通过记录大鼠探索的录像带完成， 通过使用现有方法转录这些记录， 测量探索行为，以及通过申请 第一次标准化的运动。记谱技术， 分析与无生命物体的相互作用。 如果有这样一个账户，可将其用作基准数据 几种类型的研究，包括调查 自发探索的功能意义，研究 它与其他与学习有关的行为的关系， 信息处理和生物学研究 控制这些行为的机制。

Exploration is a very basic, conspicuous and biologically important behavior of mammals. At the same time, it is complex and involves important experiential and developmental parameters. Dr. Renner's research project consists of several investigations designed to provide detailed descriptive information about the spontaneous exploratory behavior of rats. This objective will be accomplished by recording videotapes of rat exploration, followed by transcription of these recordings using existing methods for measuring exploratory behavior, as well as by applying for the first time a standardized movement.notation technique to the analysis of interactions with inanimate objects. Such an account, if available, could be used as benchmark data for several types of studies, including investigations into the functional significance of spontaneous exploration, research on its relationship to other behaviors related to learning and information.processing, and the study of the biological mechanisms controlling these behaviors.
