Environmental enrichment induces optimistic cognitive bias in rats (2011, methodology): “In this studywe developed a novel cognitive bias test for rodents logically identical to two of the tasks previously used with starlings (Matheson et al. 2008; Brilot et al. 2010).”
Defining and assessing animal pain (2014, unknown): “Further, some analgesic drugs are administered by veterinarians and experimenters to ameliorate apparent pain, suggesting a high evolutionary conservation of receptors for drugs such as opioids and NSAIDs (Jordt & Julius, 2002; Nasr, Nicol, & Murrell, 2012).”
Exposing the behavioral gambit: the evolution of learning and decision rules (2013, background): “2004), starlings (Matheson et al. 2008), and honeybees (Bateson et al.”
Release from restraint generates a positive judgement bias in sheep (2010, background): “, 2008), European starlings (Bateson and Matheson, 2007; Matheson et al., 2008), dogs, and Rhesus macaques (for review see Mendl et al.”
An integrative and functional framework for the study of animal emotion and mood (2010, background): “…including rats (Harding et al. 2004; Burman et al. 2008, 2009; Enkel et al. 2010), sheep (Doyle et al. 2010), starlings (Bateson & Matheson 2007; Matheson et al. 2008), rhesus monkeys and dogs (see Mendl et al. 2009 for a review) have found evidence in support of these hypotheses, indicating…”
Cognitive bias as an indicator of animal emotion and welfare: Emerging evidence and underlying mechanisms (2009, background): “However, in study 9 where this is a possibility, although unenriched birds were more likely to perform an active key-peck predicting delayed food in response to the training cue associatedwith instant food, it seems unlikely that this was simply the result of diminished feeding motivation, because b”
Sheep exhibit a positive judgement bias and stress-induced hyperthermia following shearing (2011, unknown): “In resent studies, decreasing light intensity for nocturnal rats, release from a short-term stressor in sheep or improvement in housing conditions of starlings have all been found to induce positive judgement biases (Burman et al., 2009; Doyle et al., 2010a; Matheson et al., 2008).”
A spatial judgement task to determine background emotional state in laboratory rats, Rattus norvegicus (2008, background): “, 2004), starlings (Bateson & Matheson, 2007; Matheson et al., 2007), and humans (Paul, E.”
Animal pleasure and its moral significance (2009, background): “…the emotional states of other sheep (Da Costa et al., 2004), monkeys show a sense of justice (Brosnan and de Waal, 2003), starlings can become optimistic or pessimistic (Bateson and Matheson, 2007; Matheson et al., 2007), and rats show mirthful responses to tickling (Burgdorf and Panksepp, 2001).”
The Use of Judgement Bias to Assess Welfare in Farm Livestock (2015, methodology): “…(Canis lupus familiaris; Mendl et al 2010b; Burman et al 2011), starlings (Sturnus vulgaris; Bateson & Matheson 2007), and rats; Burman et al 2008a, 2008b, 2009; Matheson et al 2008), which have all replicated the findings, and confirmed the link between emotional states and cognitive processes.”
