Personality effects on spatial learning: Comparisons between visual conditions in a weakly electric fish

Abstract: Recent research has explored links between cognition and personality, with prominent hypotheses proposing that personality drives consistent individual differences in cognitive function. These hypotheses particularly expect bolder individuals to be faster, but less accurate, as a trade‐off in cognitive function. However, cognitive processes are typically interconnected and defined in more complex terms than simply speed and accuracy. Here, we present evidence that personality‐based differences in learning rate… Show more

“…The final dataset consisted of 25 studies and 66 effect sizes, testing 652 individuals in total. This included data for 19 species across a broad taxonomic range, including insects[70], fish[46,[71][72][73][74][75], reptiles[76], birds[33,42,47,[77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85] and mammals[86][87][88][89][90].…”

“…2 D), we conclude that the splitting of groups with members more dissimilar in their boldness results in collective decisions taking longer to be reached. The involvement of personality on collective decision speed may reflect a greater tendency by bolder individuals to reach food-rewarded locations ( Kareklas et al, 2017 ).…”

“…The direct effects of high variance on splitting are unclear, as we did not track individuals, but they are possibly driven by intra-group differences in exploration and approach tendency between more greatly differing personalities ( Toms et al, 2010 ) and possibly due to related differences in sociality ( Ward et al, 2004 ; McDonald et al, 2016 ). Another possibility is that differences in boldness correspond to differences in decision-making strategy ( Griffin et al, 2015 ; Kareklas et al, 2017 ), which again would require identifying consistencies in the position individuals occupy in a shoal. Further, different types of splitting may represent different processes.…”
