| Popis: | Six kittens were tested in a 2-choice maze to determine if they would execute directional approach responses to an auditory stimulus. Tests were done at various postnatal ages (4–10, 11–17, 18–24, and 25–31 days) and comparison was made with responses of 5 kittens tested without auditory stimulation. At the earliest ages no evidence was seen for auditory approach responses but by 18–24 days consistent approach responses were found. |
