    3. sur quoi le modèle se trompe

      "Se trompe" mais aussi plus largement sur quoi il se fonde en lien avec ce que tu racontais concernant les biais, les stéréotypes, etc. ?

    4. Ces quatre indicateurs concernent les tâches de classification. Pour les tâches de régression, l’erreur absolue moyenne mesure l’écart moyen, en valeur absolue, entre les prédictions du modèle et les valeurs attendues.

      Petit souci fréquent, mais je me demande si ça reste à l'édition.

    1. We ran ageneralized linear model (Model 4) with a gamma distribution. Fixed factors were Condition (test condition and control condition),Order (sequence of novel objects presented), Subject identity, and Object (yellow Frisbee, pink giraffe soft toy, and multicolour softball).

      What exactly is a GLM and why is it important for this study?

    2. More specifically,these experiments included the study of social learning, exclusion performance, animal-human communication, or reversal learning

      Would the fact that these birds have participated in behavioural studies before not affect their performance in this one since they've technically already experienced how these should go?

Although some conservation tools have been developed forSouthern ground-hornbills (e.g., acoustic bird deterrents, perforated vinyl to reduce reflection; Kemp et al.2023), shadow boxing is still recognised as one of the primary reasons for the species’ decline.

      Do you guys know the exact numbers of this? For the species to go from being normal to endangered means that their numbers had to have dropped significantly, so do we know the exact % decline or their population size before and after?
