Ambidirectional dominance has been found for exploratory behaviours in mice and Paradise fish.

These applications range from facial recognition to adaptive exploratory behavior (such as a planetary robot might be expected to perform).

When confronted with a novel environment, animals from non-sessile non-predatory animal species will often engage in exploratory behavior.

To investigate this theory, a cannabinoid receptor-knockout mouse study examined the effect that these receptors play on exploratory behavior.

Indeed, a secure attachment is associated with independent exploratory behaviour rather than dependence.

This type of exploratory behavior is common in many species.

This is the neurobiology that motivates exploratory behavior.

Although mostly known for its role in stress, cortisol may also be associated with curious or exploratory behavior.

After four days of stressor exposure, both exploratory behavior and social interaction were tested on day 5 in either the same environment or a new environment.

Finally, and perhaps most importantly, giving study participants a well specified task could immediately prevent them from exhibiting exploratory behavior.
