Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
Animals often face a conflict between the speed and accuracy by which a decision is made. Decisions taken quickly might be relativelyinaccurate, whereas decisions taken more slowly might be more accurate. Such “speed-accuracy trade-offs” receive increasingattention in behavioral and cognitive sciences. Importantly, life-history theory predicts that trade-offs typically exist only at certainhierarchical levels, such as within rather than among individuals. We therefore examined within- and among-individual correlationsin the speed and accuracy by which decisions are taken, using a foraging context in wild-caught great tits (Parus major) as a workedexample. We find that great tits exhibit among-individual variation in speed-accuracy trade-offs: some individuals predictably maderelatively slow but accurate decisions, whereas others were predictably faster but less accurate. We did not, however, find evidencefor the trade-off at the within-individual level. These level-specific relationships imply that different mechanisms acted across levels.These findings highlight the need for future work on the integration of individual behavior and cognition across hierarchical levels. |
