DOI: 10.1002/jeab.780
Abstract: Procedural fidelity is the extent to which components of an intervention are implemented as designed. Procedural fidelity is measured as a dependent variable and manipulated as an independent variable. In research and practice, procedural-fidelity data… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/jeab.789
Abstract: Some of the earliest applications outside the laboratory of principles derived from the experimental analysis of behavior (EAB), such as the pioneering work of Keller and Marian Breland, involved animals. This translational tradition continues to… read more here.

Strengthening the research–practice loop in applied animal behavior: Introduction to the special issue
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior"
DOI: 10.1002/jeab.791
Abstract: Though operant learning has been applied to socially significant animal behavior for many years, connections between these practical applications and the basic science that supports them have weakened over time. There is a need for… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2018.08.054
Abstract: Our understanding of songbird song learning is derived mainly from two approaches: observations in the field and experiments in the laboratory. A clever new study combines elements of both and highlights how exposure to song… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.02.002
Abstract: Virgin male mice naturally kill another male's pups so they can sire their own offspring. New research shows that pups are identified using a combination of generic and 'honest' cues, revealing an unexpected logic underlying… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.02.055
Abstract: How animals respond to novel objects may reflect their overall cognitive and behavioral disposition. A study using camera traps reveals that different species of wild ape respond to novelty differently. read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2019.07.058
Abstract: Although glia are known to have the potential to alter neuronal activity, their behavioral relevance is not well understood. A recent study has discovered that, when zebrafish give up on performing a visuo-motor task, glia… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2020.05.088
Abstract: Tracking the outcomes of third-party social interactions is a vital social skill but thought to be cognitively complicated. Paper wasps can learn about others' fighting abilities from observation, suggesting surprisingly complex understanding of social networks… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.yexcr.2021.112720
Abstract: Cellular stress responses exist to detect the effects of stress on cells, and to activate protective mechanisms that promote resilience. As well as acting at the cellular level, stress response pathways can also regulate whole… read more here.
