1. Training of spider monkeys in a food-rewarded two-choice olfactory discrimination paradigm and assessment of olfactory learning and memory performance
Master-uppsats, Linköpings universitet/BiologiSammanfattning : There is little knowledge about olfactory learning in primates, even though primates are known to use olfaction in several behaviors including food selection and territorial defense. Therefore I assessed the olfactory learning and memory performance in five adult spider monkeys (Ateles geoffroyi) using a food-rewarded two-choice olfactory discrimination paradigm. LÄS MER
2. Luktfunktion hos vuxna med diagnos inom Autismspektrumet
Master-uppsats, Stockholms universitet/Psykologiska institutionenSammanfattning : Tidigare forskning visar att individer med en diagnos inom autismspektrumet (ASD) upplever en större sinneskänslighet vad gäller hörsel, syn och känsel men få studier har undersökt lukt känsligheten. Syftet med föreliggande studie är att få en djupare förståelse för luktfunktioner hos vuxna med ASD. LÄS MER
3. Olfactory discrimination ability of South African fur seals (Arctocephalus pusillus) for enantiomers
Master-uppsats, Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolanSammanfattning : The sense of smell in marine mammals is traditionally thought to be poor. However, increasing evidence suggests that pinnipeds may use their sense of smell in a variety of behavioral contexts including communication, foraging, food selection, and reproduction. LÄS MER
4. Olfactory discrimination performance and longterm odor memory in Asian elephants (Elephas maximus)
Master-uppsats, Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi; Tekniska högskolanSammanfattning : Behavioral evidence suggests that Asian elephants strongly rely on their sense of smell in a variety of contexts including foraging and social communication. Using a food-rewarded two-alternative operant conditioning procedure, three female Asian elephants were tested on their olfactory discrimination ability with 1-aliphatic alcohols, n-aldehydes, 2-ketones, n-carboxylic acids and with a set of twelve enantiomeric odor pairs.

5. Development and application of an olfactory discrimination paradigm for Asian elephants (Elephas maximus)
Master-uppsats, Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologiSammanfattning : The sense of smell plays an important role in regulating the behavior of Asian elephants but until now, no behavioral test to systematically assess the olfactory capabilities of this species existed. Using a voluntary, food-rewarded two-alternative operant conditioning procedure, three female Asian elephants were successfully taught to discriminate between rewarded and unrewarded odors and also succeeded in intramodal stimulus transfer tasks in which either the rewarded odor, or the unrewarded odor, or both odors were exchanged simultaneously for new odors.
