A novel task to assess mood congruent memory bias in non-human animals

Assessing the affective state of animals is important for a range of research areas, including neuroscience. The use of cognitive judgement and attention biases to determine affective state has been demonstrated in animals, but approaches to assess mood-congruent biases in memory have yet to become established. We describe a novel methodology to investigate memory bias in animals, presenting initial data using the influence of social status to...
