Large amount of genetic information has been accumulated for zebrafish. Learning and memory have also been investigated with zebrafish but the number of learning paradigms is limited. Here we present a simple associative task and investigate a novel reinforcer. We show that visual access to a group of conspecifics has rewarding properties and that this reinforcer can support associative learning in zebrafish. We discuss the advantages of this rewarding stimulus and make recommendations for its use in high throughput behavioral screens.
斑马鱼已经积累了大量的遗传信息。人们也对斑马鱼的学习和记忆进行了研究，但学习范式的数量有限。在这里，我们提出了一个简单的联想任务，并研究了一种新型强化物。我们发现，视觉接触一群同种个体具有奖励性质，并且这种强化物可以支持斑马鱼的联想学习。我们讨论了这种奖励刺激的优点，并对其在高通量行为筛选中的应用提出了建议。
