Discrimination Index for task greater than zero? | |||
Control | DES | ISO | |
Novel Object Recognition | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Object-Place Recognition | Yes | Yes | Yes |
Object-Context Recognition | Yes | Yes | No |
Social Recognition | Yes | Yes | No |
Allocentric Object-Place Recognition | Yes | No | No |
Object-Place-Context Recognition | Yes | No | No |
For each test, recognition of a familiar set of stimuli results in preferential exploration of the novel aspect of the task. Discrimination Index (DI) represents the time spent with the novel object or animal relative to the familiar one, and DI significantly greater than zero demonstrates successful recognition in the task.
