Lindsay Forrette co-authors article with Teresa Dzieweczynski in Current Zoology
Teresa Dzieweczynski, Ph.D., an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology, has published an article in the current issue of the peer-reviewed journal, Current Zoology (formerly Acta Zoologica). The article, "Repeatability of decision-making behaviour in male threespine stickleback Gasterosteus aculeatus: Effects of dummy vs. live stimuli," featured a student co-author, Lindsay Forrette (ABH '13).
This study expands Dr. Dzieweczynski's continuing research on how and why individuals differ from one another in their responses to even identical situations. This work was conducted at the Marine Science Center. Dr. Dzieweczynski's study is the first investigation to look at how stimulus efficacy might influence both response consistency and individual differences between individuals.
