Abstract
Diminished exploration and activity were found in cebus monkeys during a period of protein or calorie restriction or isolated rearing imposed from 8 to 26 weeks of age. Calorie restriction reduced activity somewhat. Rearing affected exploratory behavior more than did diet, but double restriction in protein and rearing produced particularly severe impairment.Keywords
