  2. Understanding fish cognition: a review and appraisal of ...

    With over 30,000 recognized species, fishes exhibit an extraordinary variety of morphological, behavioural, and life-history traits. The field of fish cognition has grown markedly with numerous studies on fish spatial navigation, numeracy, learning, decision-making, and even theory of mind.

  3. Understanding fish cognition: a review and appraisal of ...

    Here, we summarize four prominent research areas in fish cognition, highlighting some of the recent advances and key findings. Next, we survey the literature, targeting these four areas, and quantify the nearly ubiquitous use of captive-bred individuals and a heavy reliance on lab-based research.

  4. Goldfish as a Model for Understanding Learning and Memory ...

    Experiment 1: Goldfish Long-Term Memory Span. The trained fish from last year’s experiment were placed in the start cubicle of the clear training maze using a small net (Figure 1). Food pellets were placed in the left cubicle of the clear training maze. The experimenter quietly backed away from the maze to record the times and responses.

  5. Fish Cognition and Consciousness | Journal of Agricultural ...

    Braithwaite et al. have pursued a number of interesting experiments over the years subjecting fish (typically trout) to a variety of noxious stimuli (e.g., injection of bee venom into their lips) and then measuring various behavioral changes.

  6. Fish ecology and cognition: insights from studies on wild and ...

    Fish are a highly suitable clade to test wild individuals’ cognition. •. Key examples from teleost fishes show “complex” cognitive processes linked to ecological needs. •. In ecologically relevant tasks, low performance is not necessarily an indicator of low cognitive capacities.

  7. Cognition, Learning, and Behavior - ScienceDirect

    Theoretical models of fish behavior, including contributions from experimental and comparative psychology, help us to understand the ways in which physiology can influence or direct behavior, and conversely the physiological consequences of behavior.

    "Fish Cognition and Behavior is an essential read for anyone interested in fish welfare, psychology, sensory biology, neurobiology, conservation, and the application of pure research." ( Quarterly Review of Biology , December 2008)

  9. Variation in Emotion and Cognition Among Fishes

    Increasing public concern for the welfare of fish species that human beings use and exploit has highlighted the need for better understanding of the cognitive status of fish and of their ability to experience negative emotions such as pain and fear.

  10. Experiments on learning in zebrafish ( Danio rerio ): A ...

    Abstract. The past decade has seen rapid proliferation of behavioral research with zebrafish, and an emergence of interest in their potential as a model of neurocognitive function. Already, zebrafish have been proposed as a model of autism, Alzheimer's, drug abuse, schizophrenia, and other disorders involving cognitive dysfunction.
