The heterogeneous stock (HS) is a genetically outbred line of mice established more than 30 years ago from an 8‐way cross of C57BL/6, BALB/c, RIII, AKR, DBA/2, I, A/J and C3H inbred mouse strains. The present study compared the performance of 40 HS mice across a battery of diverse cognitive tasks under a variety of motivations. Indices of emotionality were also included in order to assess their influence on performance. All measures of ability loaded positively on an unrotated first principal…

Assessing Reliability, Heritability and General Cognitive Ability in a Battery of Cognitive Tasks for Laboratory Mice
TLDR
Evidence for a heritable general cognitive ability (g) factor influencing cognitive batteries is presented, and the factor structure is seen to remain fairly robust across permutations of the battery composition and the current findings fit well with other recent studies.
Individual Differences in the Expression of a “General” Learning Ability in Mice
TLDR
The results indicate that diverse learning abilities of laboratory mice are influenced by a common source of variance and, moreover, that the general learning ability of individual mice can be specified relative to a sample of peers.
General Cognitive Ability Predicts Survival-Readiness in Genetically Heterogeneous Laboratory Mice
TLDR
It is suggested that performance on tasks that are explicitly intended to assess the likelihood of survival can be impacted by cognitive abilities, and heightened attention may be the common mediator of both of these classes of abilities.
Variations in working memory capacity predict individual differences in general learning abilities among genetically diverse mice
Individual Differences in Animal Intelligence: Learning, Reasoning, Selective Attentionand Inter-Species Conservation of a Cognitive Trait
TLDR
This work indicates that learning abilities, attentional control, and the capacity for reasoning, features that constitute both colloquial and formal definitions of human intelligence, are commonly regulated in individual genetically heterogeneous mice.
Intelligence demands flexibility: Individual differences in attentional disengagement strongly predict the general cognitive ability of mice
Exploration in outbred mice covaries with general learning abilities irrespective of stress reactivity, emotionality, and physical attributes
General Intelligence in Another Primate: Individual Differences across Cognitive Task Performance in a New World Monkey (Saguinus oedipus)
TLDR
Individual differences in cognitive abilities within at least one other primate species can be characterized by a general intelligence factor, supporting the hypothesis that important aspects of human cognitive function most likely evolved from ancient neural substrates.
Domain-Specific and Domain-General Learning Factors are Expressed in Genetically Heterogeneous CD-1 mice.
Lack of general learning ability factor in a rat test battery measuring a wide spectrum of cognitive domains.
Objective: In the framework of a larger project aiming to test putative cognitive enhancer drugs in a system with improved translational validity, we established a rodent test battery, where…

Inheritance of spatial learning ability in inbred mice: a classical genetic analysis.
TLDR
The inheritance of spatial learning ability in inbred mice was examined by performance of a classical genetic cross between the 2 inbred strains C57BL/6Ibg and DBA/2Ibg, with males showing a type of inheritance in which dominant genes made the major contribution to the expression of the behavior.
Behavioral phenotypes of inbred mouse strains: implications and recommendations for molecular studies
TLDR
Strain distributions are described for open field activity, learning and memory tasks, aggression, sexual and parental behaviors, acoustic startle and prepulse inhibition, and the behavioral actions of ethanol, nicotine, cocaine, opiates, antipsychotics, and anxiolytics.

High-resolution mapping of quantitative trait loci in outbred mice
TLDR
Using the HS mice, an outbred stock of mice for which the entire genealogy is known, a QTL influencing a psychological trait in mice is mapped to a 0.8-cM interval on chromosome 1, which makes QTLs accessible to positional cloning.
Developing standardized behavioral tests for knockout and mutant mice.
TLDR
Test batteries for examining sensory and motor behavior, species-typical behavior, learning and memory, and development and aging in transgenic mice are reviewed.
