dc.description.abstract
Associative learning in insects has been studied extensively by a multitude of
classical conditioning protocols. However, so far little emphasis has been put
on the dynamics of learning in individuals. The honeybee is a well-established
animal model for learning and memory. We here studied associative learning as
expressed in individual behavior based on a large collection of data on
olfactory classical conditioning (25 datasets, 3298 animals). We show that the
group-averaged learning curve and memory retention score confound three
attributes of individual learning: the ability or inability to learn a given
task, the generally fast acquisition of a conditioned response (CR) in
learners, and the high stability of the CR during consecutive training and
memory retention trials. We reassessed the prevailing view that more training
results in better memory performance and found that 24 h memory retention can
be indistinguishable after single-trial and multiple-trial conditioning in
individuals. We explain how inter-individual differences in learning can be
accommodated within the Rescorla–Wagner theory of associative learning. In
both data-analysis and modeling we demonstrate how the conflict between
population-level and single-animal perspectives on learning and memory can be
disentangled.
