Detailed Description

The invention will be further described with reference to the following drawings and examples:

the first embodiment is as follows:

referring to fig. 1 and fig. 2 or fig. 4, which are schematic structural views of the present invention, a chick association learning behavior box comprises a box body, the box body comprises a square bottom surface 3, four box walls 2 vertically arranged along the edge of the square bottom surface, and a top cover 1 capable of being opened and closed, four box walls 2 are all provided with illuminating lamps 4,

a hamper 7 is arranged on the bottom surface of the box body and close to the box wall,

the food box is characterized in that a rectangular opening 8 and a through hole 9 formed above the rectangular opening 8 are further formed in the box wall 2 close to the food box 7, the rectangular opening 8 is located right above the food box 7, a pluggable food box cover plate 6 is arranged in the rectangular opening 8, and a pluggable color bat 5 is arranged in the through hole 9.

In this embodiment, the interval between the rectangular opening 8 and the through hole 9 is 2 cm.

In this embodiment, the distance between the top ends of the illuminating lamps 4 and the box wall 2 is 5cm, the illuminating lamps are located on the vertical symmetry axis of the box body, and the power of the illuminating lamps 4 is 5W.

In this embodiment, the length of the box body is 20cm, the width is 20cm, the depth is 35cm, the thickness of the box wall 2 is 0.5cm, and the box body is made of PVC. Referring to fig. 3, the top cover 1 has a length of 21cm, a width of 21cm and a thickness of 0.3cm, and the top cover 1 is a single-sided mirror whose inside can be seen only from the outside. The depth of the hamper 7 is 2cm, the length is 4cm, the width is 3cm, and the wall thickness of the hamper 7 is 0.5 cm. The length of the hamper cover plate 6 is 6cm, the width is 4cm and the thickness is 0.2 cm. The colored bat 5 comprises a ball body and a bat body fixedly connected with the ball body, wherein the diameter of the ball body is 0.25cm, the diameter of the bat body is 0.2cm, and the length of the bat body is 6 cm.

In this embodiment, when studying the influence of alcohol on embryo development and association learning of newly hatched chicks, 0.1 ml of 38% alcohol is injected into the chick embryos at the embryo stage, and the chicks are trained to complete association learning after the chicks are hatched.

After 20 hours of food deprivation, the chicks are placed in an association learning behavior box, the color balls on the color ball sticks in the behavior box are red, when the chicks peck the red color balls, the cover plate of the hamper is pulled out, the chicks can peck food in the hamper, after the chicks peck for 5 seconds, the chicks are moved out of the hamper, one-time training is completed, the training is repeated for 10 times, and the interval is 5 minutes each time; then the color balls on the color ball stick of the behavior box are changed into green, the chick is placed in the behavior box, when the chick pecks the green color balls, the lamp in the behavior box is turned off, the chick in the dark environment can make a terror cry, the dark environment punishs the chick, and the chick is moved out of the behavior box after the lamp is turned off for 30 seconds, so that one training is completed. If the chick is placed in the behavior box and does not peck green balls within 1 minute, the chick is considered to finish association learning, and the chick is directly moved out of the behavior box and is considered to finish one training. The training was repeated 10 times with 5 minute intervals. After 3 days of training, the association learning condition of the chicks was detected on day 4, the chicks were placed in a behavior box, green balls or red balls were randomly given, 10 times of continuous tests (5 times of red balls and 5 times of green balls) were carried out, the pecking condition of the chicks was counted, and the fact that the chicks pecked red balls or did not peck green balls within 1 minute was considered to be correct. Detecting the association learning quality of the chicks according to the accuracy rate of the ball pecking of the chicks.

The research result of the experiment shows that: the association memory accuracy of the chick injected with alcohol in the embryonic period is 45.6%, and the association memory accuracy of the chick in the control group is 84.2%. It can be seen that the working memory of the chicks is seriously damaged by alcohol contact in the embryonic period.
