This section is about animal behavior analysis, the scientific application of behavior analysis to the challenges of training animal behavior. Operant conditioning, one of the main techniques available to behavior analysts, is also the method of choice for training pets and animals. The Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies hosts this section of its behavior.org web site to showcase how these techniques are being used in zoos and oceanariums, and how they can be used for training pets and domestic animals.
Introduction
Welcome to the Animal Behavior section
of the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies!
This section of behavior.org is about animal training and enrichment in a variety of settings. It’s here that you’ll find scientifically oriented information related to all aspects of animal behavior. We are pleased to provide you with the most current behavioral information related to pets (dogs, cats, birds, and other species), and other animals including farm and zoo animals, marine mammals, animals in shelters and rescue, and wildlife. Information is also provided related to settings where animal behavior is studied from ‘a’ through ‘z’, aquaria to zoos.
Our extensive resource lists can guide you to articles, videos and training materials, model programs, and other web pages. We hope you’ll find the resource lists useful and that you’ll tell your colleagues about the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies.
