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
