It has been suggested that, during instrumental learning, animals are likely to react emotionally to the reinforcer. However, they may in addition react emotionally to their own achievements. Such reactions would be of interest in the context of the animal's capacity for self-awareness. We therefore devised a learning experiment to disentangle emotional reactions to a food reward and to own learning in young cattle.
