Datasets analysed in the manuscript titled '<b>Investigating the relationship between heat-mediated cognitive impairment and antipredator response in a wild bird</b>'
<p dir="ltr"><b>The dataset includes three spreadsheets, each of which contains two sheets: one with the data and one with metadata (i.e., definitions of the column headings).</b></p><ol><li><b>REPEATABILITY_DATASET</b><br>This dataset was used to estimate the repeatability of behavioural coding. It includes measurements of time spent vigilant, coded both by the same observer at different times and by a different observer.</li><li><b>COGNITION_DATASET</b><br>This dataset includes associative learning scores obtained by individuals tested under normal and high temperature conditions. It also contains individual attributes and proxies of motivation at the time of cognitive testing. The dataset was used to investigate the effect of air temperature on associative learning performance.</li><li><b>PREDATOR_PRESENTATIONS_PCA_DATASET</b><br>This dataset contains behaviours coded from videos of model predator presentations (both pre- and post-reveal), along with associative learning scores linked to these presentations in the main analysis. The primary measure of antipredator behaviour used in the study is PC1, derived from a Principal Component Analysis of three variables: <i>Alarm_p</i>, <i>Flying_p</i>, and <i>Vigilance_p</i>.</li></ol><p><br></p>
