摘要
Three groups of mature cats were tested for acquisition of a successive visualpattern discrimination. Ammon’s horn and pyriform cortex of Group 1 (N = 6) had been ablated. Group 2 (N = 4) were sham-operated and Group 3 (N = 3) were intact normal animals. Group 1 was significantly inferior to the combined control groups (p < 0.004). Hence, ablation of the hippocampal region severely impairs the acquisition of successive discriminations in cats. © 1969, Psychonomic Journals, Inc.. All rights reserved.
