Table 1.

Intensity of motor movements of head and limbs during sniffing behavior

Time segment Intensity of movements (centimeters moved by head and/or limbs) Paired t test

Intensity was quantified as total centimeters moved by head and limbs during each half-second segment. Intensity of head and paw movements during sniffing was higher for transitions with type 1 behavior compared with type 2 behavior (n = 7) (paired samples t test).
