ITS - Place Avoidance
| Description |
Designed
to reinforce a moving subject to avoid a to-be-avoided sector. Reinforcement
(usually aversive stimulation from a current source) is based on user-defined to-be-avoided
sectors (arc, circle or polygon shape). The to-be-avoided sectors are
independent for each spatial reference frame. Timing the delivery of the
reinforcement is set by the user-defined parameters: Entrance Latency,
Shock Duration, Inter Shock Latency and Exit Latency. |
| Features |
1
or 2 frames of reference, Delivery of the negative reinforcement is usually
based on presence in the to-be-avoided sector but it can also be delivered
according to a periodic or random schedule or user-defined sequence. A
rotating arena, or foraging for scattered food can be used to motivate
movement through the environment. |
