[Assessment of "impulsive" behavior by the method with time calculation]

Area of Science:

• Neuroscience
• Animal Behavior

Context:

• Understanding impulsivity and self-control in animals is crucial for behavioral research.
• Existing models primarily assess ongoing behavioral traits.
• A need exists for models that consider typological characteristics.

Purpose:

• To discuss the problem of impulsive and self-control behavior in animals.
• To compare two distinct experimental models for assessing these behaviors.
• To highlight the differences in data obtained from different assessment models.

Summary:

• A widely accepted model assesses impulsivity/self-control independently of animal's higher nervous activity type.
• A novel model assesses typological characteristics, including impulsivity and self-control, based on behavioral performance.
• Differences between the two models and their implications are discussed.

Impact:

• Provides a new perspective on assessing animal impulsivity and self-control.
• Highlights the importance of typological characteristics in behavioral assessment.
• Offers insights into the limitations of current assessment models.
