Abstract
An experiment and its replication are reported in which the postoperative retention of a successive discrimination problem was studied following destruction of the hippocampus and overlying cortex or of the neocortical areas only. Animals with lesions of the posterolateral neocortex showed severe deficits in performance of the problem. Hippocampectomized Ss were also impaired but their deficit was marked by consistent responding to one arm of the maze, i.e., response fixation.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
