Investigative study shows visual stimuli enhance attention in odontocetes, suggesting benefits for welfare.

The study evaluates visual stimuli as a form of enrichment for odontocetes in managed care, assessing attention responses.
Tested discrimination responses in three odontocete species over three years.
Utilized both familiar and unfamiliar visual stimuli under two presentation formats.
Measured gaze durations and absence of habituation across sessions.
Longer gaze durations observed for visual stimuli compared to control conditions.
Gaze durations varied significantly by species and presentation paradigm.
No habituation occurred, indicating sustained interest in visual stimuli over time.

Yeater et al. (2026) studied this question.
