Research Bites Podcast #41 - Dr. Lars Schwabe - Stress, Memory, and Behavioral FlexibilityIn this episode of the Research Bites Podcast, Dr. Kristina Spaulding talks with Dr. Lars Schwabe about what happens to learning and memory when the brain is under stress—and why those changes matter for behavior, training, and mental health.They begin by unpacking how memory works in the first place, walking through the stages of encoding, consolidation, and retrieval. From there, they explore the still-debated idea of reconsolidation—the possibility that when memories are retrieved, they may briefly become modifiable. Dr. Schwabe discusses the evidence behind this concept, along with early attempts to reduce the...

Research Bites Podcast #39: Wanting, Liking, and Motivation: A Conversation About ReinforcementToday’s episode is a little different from the usual format.What you’re hearing is an actual recording from a Research Bites Coffee Break—an informal, unscripted conversation where behavior professionals think out loud about research, ask questions, and explore ideas together. There’s no lecture and no tidy conclusions—just real discussion and curiosity in action.The topic for this Coffee Break was the distinction between wanting and liking, two concepts that are often treated as interchangeable in training and behavior work, but that turn out to be meaningfully different...

Dr. Spaulding connects the research to practical strategies you can use right away. From monitoring behavior and adjusting stimulus intensity to incorporating conditioning and systematic desensitization, this episode offers clear guidance for helping animals move toward calmer, more adaptive responses.

Research Bites Podcast #36: Does Stress Really “Stay in the System” for Three Days?One of the most common questions Dr. Kristina Spaulding hears is whether stress “stays in the system” for three days. In this episode, she digs into what that really means, what the research shows, and why the truth is more complex than a simple yes or no.She begins with the biology of the stress response—how the HPA axis and sympathetic nervous system work together, the roles of cortisol and corticosterone, and why not all stress is bad. Then she takes on the central question: how long does stress actually last? You’ll learn how long it typic...

Research Bites Podcast #32: Why Behavior Doesn’t Fit in Boxes: Rethinking How We Classify BehaviorIn this episode, Dr. Kristina Spaulding dives into the complex world of labels—how we define, categorize, and talk about behavior in both humans and animals. Drawing on her psychology background, she explores the benefits and pitfalls of labels, the messiness behind mental health classifications, and how new models in psychology might help us think differently about animal behavior. At the heart of the discussion: lasting change comes from addressing underlying processes—like stress, emotional regulation, and impulsivity—rather than focusing only on behaviors.

The second paper examines the impact of different enrichment interventions on the stress levels of dogs in a shelter. The study suggests that housing dogs with conspecifics may be beneficial in reducing stress. However, the results are not clear cut and I discuss the limitations and challenges i...

Lockhart and Waite discuss their top five things they would “never” do as animal behavior professionals (and as animal owners/caretakers). The important thing to remember is that every professional and owner is different. We all have unique boundaries we won’t cross (but also unique exceptions to those boundaries!). So if there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that we don’t all agree, and therefore your boundaries may be quite different from ours. We chat about some typical items, as well as p...

Word of the Day CavalcadeCavalcade is a noun that refers to a series. The Greek word kaballeion (caab ah LAY on) means ‘horse.’ As this word migrated toward English and into our word of the day, it came to refer to ‘a horseback ride.’ It later meant an army of people on horseback and more recently it has been used figuratively to refer to any series or procession of things — usually a dramatic or extreme series. For example: I can’t believe the cavalcade of disasters that came our way during the filming of our movie. It was just one catastrophe after anothe
