Tonic Immobility as a Model of Extreme States of Behavioral Inhibition: Issues of Methodology and Measurement

Gallup, Gordon G., Rager, Dawn R.·1996·Motor Activity and Movement Disorders

Abstract

Tonic immobility (TI) (also commonly known as “animal hypnosis,” “immobility reflex,” and “contact defensive immobility”) is a profound, but easily reversible condition of response inhibition found in a wide variety of different species, including various insects, crustacea, fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals (for reviews, see Gallup, 1974a; Jones, 1986). Figures 1 and 2 depict chickens exhibiting the TI reaction.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
