Slow angled-descent forepaw grasping (SLAG): an innate behavioral task for identification of individual experimental mice possessing functional vision

Table 1 Inter-rater reliability with multiple observers witnessing identical SLAG sessions

Nine people (raters A-I, columns) were familiarized with SLAG performance and scoring techniques. Each participant independently viewed a collection of videos of SLAG being performed on 22 mice (rows), and scored each mouse as (+) or (−). All scores except for one coincided between raters. Light’s modified Cohen κ-statistic for inter-rater reliability [19] was calculated to be 0.98, indicating a high level of scoring agreement between raters.
