Ontogenetic differences in variability on simple measures of learning: theoretical and practical implications.

Abstract:

:Data from a variety of sources, including a number of tasks and dependent measures, suggests that a systematic inverse relationship exists between age and the amount of variability observed on simple measures of learning. Implications for general theoretical perspectives concerning ontogenetic differences in stimulus and response selection, acquired knowledge or experience, and general speed of information processing are discussed. It is argued that such a regularity offers possibilities for both methodological and theoretical explorations.

  • The role of motor learning and cage size in the early enrichment effect in mice.

    abstract::Three experiments with C57BL/10J mice examined the possible roles of cage size and simple motor practice as factors responsible for producing improved performance of animals reared in enriched environments. Neither factor was found sufficient to improve subsequent performance in a food-seeking task. Mice reared in fla...
