Abstract
"Albino rats of two age groups were trained to escape from a water maze which was arranged to present a series of different problems. They relearned the problems after an interval of 75 days. The Ss which were handled daily during the posttraining interval made fewer errors in relearning than did Ss not handled during the interval. This result may be interpreted as showing effects of loss of habituation to handling." (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
