“…Scientists in this field are becoming more interested in the effects of spontaneous behavior on the results of bias testing (Wichman et al, 2012), demonstrated by recent evidence supporting a link between affiliative social behavior and cognitive biases. A study on canaries (Serinus canaria) found pairhousing led to more optimistic judgements (Lalot, Ung, Péron, D'Ettorre, & Bovet, 2017), and bottlenose dolphins conducting more synchronous swimming also judged more optimistically (Clegg, Rödel, & Delfour, 2017). Although one study with laying hens (Gallus gallus) correlated anticipatory behavior frequency to cognitive bias and found no associations, they suggested some methodological problems and recommended further investigation (Wichman et al, 2012).…”

Many animals display a suite of increased vigilance and/or activity responses in relation to upcoming events, termed "anticipatory behavior." Anticipatory behavior toward positive events has been suggested as a cross-species measure of affective state as it likely reflects the balance of the reward-sensitivity system: various studies suggest that animals in poorer welfare situations show higher or excessive levels of anticipation for positive events. Another tool for evaluating animals' affective state is cognitive bias testing, and although it has been attempted, a link has not yet been made between cognitive bias and anticipatory behavior levels. Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus) in captivity increase the performance of behaviors such as surface-looking and spy-hopping in anticipation of training sessions during which food is provided. In this study we measured anticipatory behavior frequency in bottlenose dolphins prior to positive reinforcement training sessions, and assessed whether frequency of anticipatory behavior correlated with their performance on cognitive bias tasks. We found that higher frequencies of anticipatory behavior for training sessions was significantly associated with more pessimistic judgements in cognitive bias tests, supporting previous findings linking higher reward sensitivity with negative affective states. Anticipatory behavior is an easily measured activity and could represent a welfare indicator in dolphins as well as other animals in captive environments.

“…An association between personality and judgment has been observed in some species (e.g. Asher et al 2016;d'Ettorre et al 2016), but not in others (Lalot et al 2016), warranting further investigation of this possible association.…”

“…For example, coping styles in pigs (Sus scrofa domesticus) and explorative behaviour in carpeter ants (Camponotus aethiops) were associated with variation in judgment bias (Asher et al 2016;d'Ettorre et al 2017). However, there are also studies that did not find an association between personality and judgment (Lalot et al 2016). …”

“…This has stimulated a handful of studies, exploring a link between personality and variation in judgment biases (e.g. Cussen & Mench 2014;Lalot et al 2016;Asher et al 2016;d'Ettorre et al 2017). The results so far suggest that personality can associate with judgment.…”

“…These results indicate that animal personality can affect cognition or at least biases in cognition. There are a handful of studies that have explored the relationship between personality and judgment biases in animals, none of which explored a causal relationship (Cussen & Mench 2014;Asher et al 2016;Lalot et al 2016;d'Ettorre et al 2017). For example, in parrots, attention bias was associated with personality (Cussen & Mench 2014).…”
