Social behavior testing
The core measures whether an animal seeks, remembers and responds to other animals. Sociability and memory: social approach, social novelty, social memory and social recognition. Interaction: direct social interaction, resident intruder and emotional contagion. Parental and reproductive behavior: mating behavior and pup retrieval. Social learning: transmission of food preference.
Used in models of autism-related conditions and epilepsy, among others, and easy to pair with the innate behavior and anxiety tests.
