The winner and loser effect: integrating multiple experiences
Article Abstract:
Individuals of Rivulus marmoratus, a hermaphroditic fish, have been given two fighting experiences to assess if the probability of winning is influenced by more than just the most recent fighting experience and, if so, whether prior winning and losing experiences differ in the extent of their impact on the outcome of a subsequent fight. It was established that a winning experience and a losing experience have a similar impact in this fish, with the effect of both experiences lasting at least 48 hours. A subject's penultimate experience was weighted to be around half that of its recent experience in determining its probability of winning a subsequent fight.
