Priming of aggressive motivation in Betta splendens
J. Hogan, and R. Bols. Animal Behaviour, 28 (1):
135--142(February 1980)
Abstract
Swimming speed in a runway for a view of a conspecific was shown to be positively correlated with vigor of aggressive display prior to the experiment. A priming procedure (preexposure to a conspecific) and decreasing the time between trials were then shown to increase swimming speed. Priming also increased the choice for a conspecific over food, but only in the presence of particular external stimuli. These results suggest that there is a high degree of similarity between aggression and other motivations, such as hunger and thirst.
