Coles Attempted Solution to a Fundamental Psychobiological Problem at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC

The book sets out to find descriptive models for hierarchically organized behavior using the relatively simple behavioral repertoire of the three-spined stickleback (Gasterosteus aculeatus L.) as a test case, but with potential generalizations to other species, including humans. In collaboration with statistician Georg Rasch, Reventlow arrived at determining quantitatively, for the first time in the study of behavior, the relative effect upon a resulting, observed behavior from the animal's sensitivity, motivation etc. (individual parameters) on the one hand, and those of the natural environment (milieu parameters) on the other. Of special interest for the psychobiology of sticklebacks are his results concerning the motivational systems, that ethologists presume control two kinds of overt behavior, as he presents experimentally based arguments for the existence of a third autonomous motivation-system for the male stickleback's building and maintenance of its nest which, together with the previously established two primary systems for mating and territorial defense, better explains the existing results than the ethologists' two-system's motivational hierarchy alone seems to be able to do.
