Agitated Honeybees Exhibit Pessimistic Cognitive Biases
Whether animals experience human-like emotions is controversial and of immense societal concern [1-3]. Because animals cannot provide subjective reports of how they feel, emotional state can only be inferred using physiological, cognitive, and behavioral measures [4-8]. In humans, negative feelings are reliably correlated with pessimistic cognitive biases, defined as the increased expectation o...
متن کاملDogs showing separation-related behaviour exhibit a ‘pessimistic’ cognitive bias
but rice will not make as effective use of the additional CO2 as would other C3 crops — those plants that, like 55% of grass species, have the basic mechanism of photosynthetic CO2 assimilation. An alternative is to change rice into a C4 plant, which could increase yield by up to 50% while using little or no more nitrogen or water. Although the challenges to such a venture are many and large, t...
متن کاملHoneybees ( exhibit flexible visual search
When honeybees are presented with a colour discrimination task, they tend to choose swiftly and accurately when objects are presented in the ventral part of their frontal visual field. In contrast, poor performance is observed when objects appear in the dorsal part. Here we investigate if this asymmetry is caused by fixed search patterns or if bees can increase their detection ability of object...

Perceived risk can influence health behaviors. Studies using various populations and breast cancer risk bias assessment methods have identified both risk over- and underestimation. Among 1803 women in primary care settings, 47 percent were at average epidemiologic risk (Gail calculated relative risk ±50 percent of age-adjusted population average) and 55 percent perceived themselves to be at ave...
متن کاملOptimistic and pessimistic biases: a primer for behavioural ecologists
To address the adaptive value of optimism/pessimism an operational definition is required. I define a behavioural decision as relatively optimistic if it is consistent with the animal having either, a higher expectation of reward, or a lower expectation of punishment (threat), than the same animal in a different state (or a different animal). Pessimism is the inverse of optimism. Such relative ...
