Functional Analysis of Masculine Copulatory Behavior in the Rat

摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter describes the analysis masculine copulatory behavior of rat, and focuses over behavioral elements, temporal patterning functional relations among elements. Many measures behavior, initiation latencies, rate, or number intromissions, are found to vary rather independently each other, this evidence is taken as support for view that sexual arousal not unitary.
