Overview
  • Title: Learning paradigms exemplified by virtual experiments with honey bees
  • Description: Non-associative learning (habituation, sensitization) and principles of associative learning (contiguity, inhibitory learning, generalization, overshadowing, positive and negative patterning) are exemplified by virtual experiments with honeybees. Users can develop experimental designs, simulate and document the experiments and find explanations and suggestions for the analysis of the learning experiments. The virtual experiments are based on film sequences and data from actual learning experiments. The bees' responses are determined by probability-based learning profiles.
