Abstract
Brightness cues as a determinant of spontaneous alternation behavior were investigated in a maze that has been assumed to induce high probability visual attention. Rats were shown to demonstrate above chance level alternation behavior to brightness stimuli; spatial cues had no effect on alternation rates.Keywords
