Primary Assay — Tree Shrew
Object Recognition
Tupaia belangeri
Novel-object recognition assays measure declarative-like memory in tree shrews. Discrimination index and exploration time benchmark recognition performance.
Quantitative Output
Measured Parameters
Every parameter is automatically tracked frame-by-frame in the ConductVision pipeline for Tupaia belangeri.
| Parameter | Unit | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Discrimination index | ratio | Novel vs familiar exploration |
| Total exploration time | s | Object engagement |
| Approach latency | s | Initial contact |
| Memory at 24 h | index | Long-term retention |
