HOLE BOARD

In combination with additional hardware that measures the hole dips and the rearing with light beams, the following parameters are calculated automatically:

BE (Activity) – Board Entries – Count of how often the board zone had been entered

GC (Activity) – Group Contact – Total time of stay in the zone next to the other animals

HB (Activity) – Head Bobs – Total number of head bobs

Im. (Activity) – Immobility – Total amount of time the animal stayed immobile

LC (Activity) – Line Crossing – Count of how often a line in the periphery had been crossed

LfEB (Latencies) – Latency first Enter Board – Time until the Board Zone was entered for the first time

LfHV (Latencies) – Latency first Hole Visit – Time until one of the hole zones was entered for the first time

ND (Holes) – Number of Dips in holes – Total number of beam break signals

NV (Holes) – Number of Visits – Total number of entries to a hole zone

OB (Rearing) – Rearing On Board – Total number of rearing in the Board Zone

OE (Errors) – Omission Error – Lack of investigation of an food equipped hole

OP (Rearing) – Rearing On Periphery – Total number of rearing in the periphery

RC (Errors) – Repeated Choice error – Total number of iterated visits

TC (Duration) – Time Complete – Complete acquisition time

TOB (Duration) – Time On Board – Complete time on the hole board

TOP (Duration) – Time On Periphery – Complete time in no zone

TpFI (Holes) – Time per Food Intake – Average time of dunked head in a hole

WC (Errors) – Wrong Choice error – Investigation of an unequipped hole

WCt (Errors) – Wrong Choice total – Sum of wrong choice errors and omission errors
