Abstract
The activity of rats in several measuring devices was correlated with weight loss produced by different kinds of deprivation. With increasing weight loss, there was striking increase in activity wheel scores, but practically no changes in stabilimeter measures and in Dashiell maze activity. Survival measures showed that deprivation involving food withdrawal is more severe than water deprivation, and that deprivation in wheels is more severe than in stabilimeters.
