| To identify animals that were neophobic and neophilic the rats were placed in a tank into which various objects were introduced. |
| The researchers then released the tagged birds back into the wild and continued monitoring their neophobic and exploratory tendencies by changing bowl colors at existing feeding stations and adding new bird feeders elsewhere. |
| Banana-flavored solution was also used to produce stronger neophobic effects that might result in group differences on Day 1 due to the swim experience. |
| Studies have shown that children are neophobic, which is why even the most determined parents can often fail at convincing a child to try a new dish. |
| An animal in the trap may help other individuals overcome a neophobic response. |
