Rank and Transitive Inference in chicks.xlsx

The data presented describe training and testing of chicks on a transitive inference task. The Excel table shows the rank (1-3), sex (1=male; 2 =female) and outcomes (number of trials to criterion of 20 correct choices - a correct choice at training being rewarded with a food item for pecking the 'higher' rank .i.e A over B, B over C etc. Testing is of non-rewarded pairs AE and BD, previously not seen before). To note chicks were held in groups of 3 or 4 individuals and ranked at Day 5 of life when first grouped together.
