Abstract
Using combinations of black with white and gray arms of a wide angle Y-maze, a preference by frogs ( Rana pipiens) for the black arm was demonstrated, the proportion favoring the reduced brightness level being .75 in both cases. The data further suggested that Ss may have been avoiding the maze arms of higher intensity.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
