A Discrimination Task for Restrained Beagles
Abstract
A procedure in which beagles were trained by shock avoidance conditioning to perform a discrimination task cued by visual and auditory stimuli is described. The time required to train most dogs averaged 50 days. When trained, dogs performed at better than 95 percent correct response. The techniques can be carefully controlled to produce standardized trained animals for applied behavioral research.
