Abstract
Whether initially exposed to a strikingly patterned model or to a plain white one, Vantress-cross chicks subsequently preferred to follow the striking model. Controls given the choice at the initial training age, and other (untrained) controls given the choice at the subsequent testing age, did not show a preference.Keywords
