As a rat or mouse swims in a small cylinder, its movements are tracked by an observer using a joystick, and the information is sent to a Macintosh computer. The swimming circle is broken into quadrants. The sequence of quadrants entered and the time spent in each quadrant are recorded as the basic data. From the data set one can extract full or partial turns, clockwise or counterclockwise rotations, total activity, and speed of swimming clockwise and counterclockwise. Two laterality indices, one based on full turns and the other on partial turns, are calculated. Test-retest reliability for rats and mice for 3-minute and 5-minute observation intervals are reported.
当一只大鼠或小鼠在一个小圆柱体中游泳时，观察者使用操纵杆跟踪其运动，并将信息发送到一台苹果电脑。游泳圈被划分为四个象限。进入的象限顺序以及在每个象限中花费的时间被记录为基本数据。从数据集中可以提取完整或部分转弯、顺时针或逆时针旋转、总活动量以及顺时针和逆时针游泳速度。计算两个侧化指数，一个基于完整转弯，另一个基于部分转弯。报告了大鼠和小鼠在3分钟和5分钟观察间隔下的重测信度。
