“…Despite complete crossing of the optic nerves, interocular transfer (IT) of learning has been demonstrated with several kinds of fish (Ingle, 1965;Schulte, 1957;Sharpiro, 1965;Sperry & Clark, 1949), However, lack of IT was found in goldfish when opaque eye caps were used to effect monocular vision and new swimming patterns were involved in the learning (McCleary ,1960), From this finding and some other supporting evidence, McCleary proposed that in fish IT occurs in passive visual discrimination (PD), but not in visuo-motor learning (VM) involving visually guided voluntary motor responses. This proposal fits the findings of the other studies where IT was demonstrated, because the motor responses involved were either the usual swim-to-food response, or were pretrained for both eyes.…”
