L'acquisition d'une latéralité d'orientation incorrecte chez le rat. I : Etude de deux conditions d'apparition de cette conduite

Abstract

Summary In the response learning to a T-maze situation, it happens that some rats « learn » the incorrect response, when using the correction method. This is a study of two experimental conditions, supposed to influence the lateralization process and thus to improve or to impair the development of this behavior : the ability to retrace, and the standardization of the manipulation of rats by the experimenter. The last variable exerts much stronger effects than does the former.
