Abstract
Rats were reared either with food pellets scattered on the floor, food pellets always in a fixed location, or with food available only in a liquid diet. Ss were given exploratory tests as adults while either hungry or satiated. The total amount of exploration varied with both rearing and deprivation conditions. There were some differences in the relative importance of different kinds of exploration; nonobject exploration increased under deprivation for the scattered food Ss whereas object exploration decreased. The reverse of this was true in the fixed and liquid food groups.Keywords
