Behavioural testing in dogs: A review of methodology in search for standardisation (2006, background): “If the dog may explore the startling stimulus, latency to approach and time spent near the stimulus are also counted (King et al., 2003).”
Factors associated with success in guide dog training (2008, methodology): “This test was based on the Sudden Appearance Test developed by Svartberg (2002), the Startling Test by King et al. (2003), subtest 29 from Netto and Planta (1997) and Startling Test 1 from Wilsson and Sundgren (1997).”
Behavioral differences among breeds of domestic dogs (Canis lupus familiaris): Current status of the science (2014, methodology): “King et al. (2003) found that Greyhounds with such histories displayed much less avoidance and aversion to novel stimuli than other breeds.”
Responses of horses to novel visual, olfactory and auditory stimuli (2005, background): “Novel object tests have been applied to a wide variety of animal species from rodents, to poultry, fish, carnivores and prey animals (e.g. Hemsworth et al., 1996; Malmkvist and Hansen, 2002; Meehan and Mench, 2002; King et al., 2003; Sneddon et al., 2003).”
Prevalence, comorbidity, and behavioral variation in canine anxiety (2016, background): “Fear is expressed in animals in various ways: avoidance, flight, freezing, and aggression, which (in some cases) are all expressions of fear (King et al., 2003; Palestrini, 2009; Scott and Fuller, 1997).”
