Visual cliff behavior was studied in 120 chicks as a function of 22, 46, 70, 94, or 118 hr of rearing in a deep or shallow environment. Preference for the deep side of the visual cliff increased directly with duration of depth-rearing but was uninfluenced at any duration of shallow-rearing. Although qualitative differences existed in the behaviors of those shallow- and deep-reared chicks which crossed the cliff, the loss of depth avoidance by the latter group appeared to be specific to the rearing and testing apparatus.
