• Resilience in farm animals: biology, management, breeding and implications for animal welfare (2016, background): “In contrast to using rewards to modify cognition and affect, exposing an animal to situations that provide stress inoculation and enable it to learn to control its environment has the potential to increase the animal’s agency (Wechsler and Lea 2007; Spinka and Wemelsfelder 2011).”
• Personality affects learning performance in difficult tasks in a sex-dependent way (2012, background): “In this way, attention to environmental cues and learning ability are positively related to behavioural flexibility and the ability of an animal to adjust to a changing environment (Wechsler & Lea 2007).”
