Impacts of Stress During Early Puberty on Tracking Behavior

Scarlett Leon, Kevin Moran, & Yvon Delville, PhD

Sign-tracking (ST) behavior is observed in animals who approach and interact with a reward associated cue more often than they approach and interact with the reward site. Goal-tracking (GT) behavior, on the other hand, is observed by higher interaction with the reward site instead of the reward cue.
