抑制控制(IC)在行为控制中起着核心作用,使个人能够抵抗外部诱惑和内部倾向。虽然IC一直在人类中进行研究,其他哺乳动物,和鸟,研究直到最近才开始探索其他脊椎动物的IC。这篇综述考察了目前关于硬骨鱼的文献,注重方法论和概念方面。我描述了研究鱼类IC的主要范式,确定适合各种研究应用的既定任务,并强调其优势和局限性。在概念分析中,我用鱼类检查IC确定了两条完善的研究路线。第一行侧重于比较方法,旨在描述物种水平的IC,并了解与生态专业化相关的种间差异的演变。大脑大小,以及影响认知表现的因素。研究结果表明,鱼类与先前研究的脊椎动物之间存在一些相似之处。研究的第二条重点是IC的种内变异性。现有结果表明,鱼类IC与性别有关的差异很大,个性,遗传,年龄,和表型可塑性,与其他脊椎动物观察到的一致。总的来说,这篇评论表明,尽管与哺乳动物相比,硬骨鱼的数据仍然很少,该小组对IC研究的贡献已经很大,并且可以在包括比较心理学在内的各种学科中进一步增加,认知生态学,和神经科学,甚至在精神病学研究等应用领域。
Inhibitory control (IC) plays a central role in behaviour control allowing an individual to resist external lures and internal predispositions. While IC has been consistently investigated in humans, other mammals, and birds, research has only recently begun to explore IC in other vertebrates. This review examines current literature on teleost fish, focusing on both methodological and conceptual aspects. I describe the main paradigms adopted to study IC in fish, identifying well-established tasks that fit various research applications and highlighting their advantages and limitations. In the conceptual analysis, I identify two well-developed lines of research with fish examining IC. The first line focuses on a comparative approach aimed to describe IC at the level of species and to understand the evolution of interspecific differences in relation to ecological specialisation, brain size, and factors affecting cognitive performance. Findings suggest several similarities between fish and previously studied vertebrates. The second line of research focuses on intraspecific variability of IC. Available results indicate substantial variation in fish IC related to sex, personality, genetic, age, and phenotypic plasticity, aligning with what is observed with other vertebrates. Overall, this review suggests that although data on teleosts are still scarce compared to mammals, the contribution of this group to IC research is already substantial and can further increase in various disciplines including comparative psychology, cognitive ecology, and neurosciences, and even in applied fields such as psychiatry research.
