Journal ArticleDOI
Animal behaviour: Cognitive bias and affective state
TL;DR: It is shown that cognitive bias can be used as an indicator of affective state in animals, which should facilitate progress in animal-welfare studies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring emotional processes in animals: the utility of a cognitive approach
TL;DR: It is possible to design non-linguistic cognitive measures of animal emotion that may be especially informative in offering new methods for assessing emotional valence, discriminating same-valenced emotion of different types, identifying phenotypes with a cognitive predisposition to develop affective disorders, and perhaps shedding light on the issue of conscious emotional experiences in animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
An integrative and functional framework for the study of animal emotion and mood
TL;DR: D discrete and dimensional approaches are brought together to offer a structure for integrating different discrete emotions that provides a functional perspective on the adaptive value of emotional states, and suggest how long-term mood states arise from short-term discrete emotions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cognitive bias as an indicator of animal emotion and welfare: Emerging evidence and underlying mechanisms
TL;DR: This paper found that animals in a negative affective state are more likely to respond to ambiguous cues as if they predict the negative event (a "pessimistic" response), than animals in more positive states.
Journal ArticleDOI
