Abstract
Animals were reared on a diet of commercially available corn grits from weaning to approximately 120 days of age. Littermate controls were fed Purina Laboratory Chow. The subjects’ learning ability was tested in a two-way active avoidance task and a black-white visual discrimination task. The grits-fed animals did not develop physically and remained as small as weanling rats throughout the study. The data from the learning tasks indicate that there were no differences in learning ability between the protein-malnourished animals and the normal littermates.
