Resumen de How to train your woodlice

Alexandra Myers Annett

• Woodlice are commonly investigated in schools; however, there is little in-depth research about their behaviours or learning capabilities. This student investigation aimed to find out whether woodlice can learn to follow a given stimulus after a period of training with a delayed reward. The results show that woodlice spend more time in the stimulus area after training than the control group and that even after leaving the stimulus area they return. This behaviour suggests that they can both learn and make neural representations of their surroundings.
