Executive Function (Discrimination and Reversal Learning)

Object discrimination learning and object discrimination reversal are part of Transpharmation’s aged canine cognitive assessments, run in an aged dog model of naturally occurring cognitive decline that reflects Canine Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome.

• Object discrimination learning assesses associative learning and visual discrimination ability as a measure of executive function.
• Object discrimination reversal assesses cognitive flexibility, executive function, and the ability to adapt to changing reward contingencies.
