Funded Activity Summary
Social learning about predators: is it just Pavlovian conditioning? Australia has a strong tradition of studying the basic principles that control learning in animals and humans. In step with recent developments in animal cognitive research, Australia has begun to acquire an international reputation in cognitive ecology. By studying social learning within a controlled, but nevertheless ecological framework, the proposed research builds upon these strengths, while opening new research avenues. Findings will attract international attention and contribute to enhancing Australia's research profile and its ability to attract overseas scientists. Charismatic animal behaviour research coupled with potential implications for wildlife management will help promote science careers amongst young Australian people.Funded Activity Details
