Abstract
Normal rabbits and rabbits with extensive unilateral or bilateral neocortical lesions were required to differentiate between visual and auditory stimuli in a Pavlovian situation and then to reverse that differentiation. It was found that neocortical ablations had no effect on the initial differentiation and that the lesioned animals were superior to normals in their performance on the reversal task. The lesioned animals in particular did not show the same tendency as normals to continue responding to the negative stimulus under reversal conditions. Possible sources of the apparently greater efficiency shown by the neodecorticates are discussed.
