Calves were exposed to a novel object over 8 sessions and time spent exploring was recorded (back-transformed from square-root). Exploration was defined as sniffing, licking, and pushing the object. Pair-housed calves (n = 10) showed a decline in exploration time over repeated sessions separated by increasing time intervals (p = 0.032); individual calves (n = 8) showed no change.
