Toward wild psychometrics: linking individual cognitive differences to fitness (2014, background): “, knocking away an obstacle or lever by luck) or variation in factors such as strength, dexterity, motivation, or persistence (e.g., Overington et al. 2011; Benson-Amram and Holekamp 2012; Thornton and Samson 2012).”
Measuring variation in cognition (2014, background): “involving food rewards include measuring individual body condition (e.g., Cole et al. 2011; Thornton and Samson 2012), or deriving other behavioral measures associated with performing the task”
