Domestication is the process by which species adapt to, and are artificially selected for, human-made environments. Few studies have explored how the process of domestication has affected the connection between behavioral traits and cognitive abilities in animals. This study investigated the relationship between personality and cognitive traits in domestic rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Fifteen individuals kept in a rabbit rescue facility were tested over a period of two months. We measured the linkage between behavioral traits (response to a novel object and exploration time) and cognitive performance. Our results suggest that there is no relationship between personality traits and problem solving abilities in domestic rabbits. In addition, our results suggest that exploration time is significantly repeatable at the individual level while latency to approach a novel object is not. Thus further research is needed to explore the relationship between cognitive and personality traits in domestic rabbits.

家兔性格与认知特征的关系

驯化是物种适应并人工选择人为环境的过程。很少有研究探索驯化过程如何影响动物的行为特征与认知能力之间的联系。这项研究调查了家兔(Oryctolagus cuniculus)人格与认知特征之间的关系。在两个月的时间内对15名被困在兔子营救设施中的人进行了测试。我们测量了行为特征(对一个新物体的响应和探索时间)与认知表现之间的联系。我们的结果表明,家兔的性格特征与解决问题的能力之间没有关系。此外,我们的结果表明,探索时间在个人层面上可重复性很高,而接近一个新物体的潜伏期却不能。因此,需要进一步的研究来探索家兔的认知和人格特质之间的关系。
