“…Such a correlation would be facilitated by the fact that most other guinea pig behaviors are nearly mature at birth (Coulon, 1971) and by the fact that postnatal brain development is very limited and rather discretely localized in guinea pigs (Altman & Das. 1967).…”

“…(2) If a maturation of the learning ability does exist, this behavioral development may be correlated with a concurrent development of specific systems within the brain. Such a correlation would be facilitated by the fact that most other guinea pig behaviors are nearly mature at birth (Coulon, 1971) and by the fact that postnatal brain development is very limited and rather discretely localized in guinea pigs (Altman & Das. 1967).…”

“…(3) An investigation of taste-aversion learning in infancy may shed light on whether, or to what extent, this phenomenon may depend on "learning to learn" (Harlow, 1949). Taste-aversion learning has 2 distinctive features: the unusual selectivity of the taste-poison association Green, Bouzas, & Rachlin, 1972), and the lengthy interstimulus intervals over which this learning can occur (Etscorn & Stephens, 1973;Garcia, Ervin, & Koelling, 1966;Smith & Roll, 1967). These characteristics might represent either an evolutionary specialization of learning, as argued by Rozin & Kalat (1971), or, perhaps, the adult animal's repeated experiences with foods and the often delayed visceral consequences.…”

Taste‐aversion learning in infant guinea pigs

Infant guinea pigs were hand-fed a 10% sucrose solution and poisoned after delays of 0 min, 30 min, or 24+ hr. Subjects in the first 2 groups showed significant sucrose aversions when tested more than a month later. No significant difference existed between the 0- and 30-min groups; no deficiency in this type of learning was evident even in neonates. All 3 groups showed a lower sucrose preference if first exposed at ages 0-6 days than at 7-11 days. Evidently exposure to sucrose at the earlier ages was less effective in reducing later neophobia to sucrose; although the youngest animals had no evident deficiency in learning aversions, they may have been deficient in learning "safety".

It is perhaps best suited to situations like this where comparisons are to be made, for the individual flow diagrams obtained are hard to interpret when behaviors differ strongly from each other in frequency.…”

“…It is common, for example, for transition matrices to include mainly behaviors from one functional category (comfort movements : Andrew, 1956;Deli us, 1969 ;Fentress, 1972;courtship behavior: Nelson, 1964;Wiepkema, 1961;Coulon, 1971; song syllable types: Isaac and Marler, 1963;Lemon and Chatfield, 1971). Certain other behaviors may be included, but these are mainly taken as markers indicating the beginning and end of sequences of the group under study (e.g., in studies of comfort movements: resting and locomotion by Andrew, 1956; "other behavior" by Delius, 1969).…”

I. ABSTRACTA review is given of the methods currently available for analyzing sequences of behavior. Simple flow diagrams based on the frequencies or conditional probabilities of individual transitions are considered to be of restricted usefulness except where the sequence is highly ordered and the different patterns occur at similar frequencies. It is more helpful to compare the data with a random model provided that repetitions of the same behavior, and any transitions which cannot occur, are excluded before the expected number of each type of transition is calculated. Such comparisons are most likely to be helpful if the behavior patterns included are closely related and fall into discrete homogeneous categories. The fact that most behavioral data are unlikely to be stationary is considered to be the main factor limiting this approach. It is suggested that first-order transition analysis and correlative techniques are the best current methods for examining such data. The search for higher-order dependencies is useful only in stationary data, where grouping of acts due to changing causal factors can be assumed to be unimportant. Additional difficulties involved in the analysis of sequences of interaction between individuals are briefly discussed. The major complicating factor here is that the behavior of an individual is likely to be dependent both on that of others and on its own previous behavior.

Ontogeny of hoarding in the golden hamster: The development of motor patterns and their sequential coordination

The hoarding behavior of 4 litters of Golden hamster pups (n = 3) was observed every 2nd day between the age of 13 and 47 days (2 litters) or 13 and 55 (2 litters). Each litter lived with the mother until Day 30; then the pups were put in social isolation. Immature forms of pouch filling and emptying, which were not integrated into coherent behavior sequences, appeared from the beginning of the observation period. Coordinated hoarding trips were shown from Day 21 onwards, once the motor patterns of inserting and extracting food had gained their definitive form. The development of hoarding was correlated with the animal's body weight and therefore with maturational factors. Mature hoarding behavior was greatly enhanced by the subject's separation from its family unit.
