Abstract
An experiment was performed which demonstrated a preference in hooded rats for vertical rather than horizontal striations. It was demonstrated that experience in discriminating between horizontal and vertical striations facilitates subsequent discrimination between squares and circles, regardless of which type of striation was positive in initial training. This finding has implications for theories of shape recognition, which are discussed.
