Effect of pre-session discrimination training on performance in a judgement bias test in dogs by Joseph Krahn, Amin Azadian, Camila Cavalli, Julia Miller, Alexandra Protopopova

“…Abstract Spatial judgement bias tests (JBTs) can involve teaching animals that a bowl provides a reward in one location but does not in another. The animal is then presented with the bowl placed between the rewarded and the unrewarded locations (i.e., ambiguous locations) and their latency to approach reflects expectation of reward or ‘optimism’. …”
