Color-Reward Association: A Case Study

Effect of maternal predator exposure on the ability of stickleback offspring to generalize a learned color-reward association published Elsevier focuses around the cognitive abilities of threespine sticklebacks, otherwise known as Gasterosteus aculeatus.. In this study two experiments took place. The first Can Sticklebacks Generalize a Learned Color-Reward Association? Which tested the ability of threespine sticklebacks juveniles to be trained to recognize color in association with food. The second experiment, Does Maternal Predator Exposure Affect Offspring Generalization of a Color-Reward Association? Focuses on predatory-prey behavior in which to see if eating behavior is disturbed if the maternal threespine sticklebacks is affected
