Abstract
Earthworms trained in a simple T-maze with shock stimulation in the negative arm showed, after 150 trials a statistically significant error reduction coupled with increased time scores. The learning is analyzed into two components, an initial conditioned avoidance of the junction followed by selective learning of the correct turn-response.
