Abstract
Guinea pig pups were removed from their sow immediately after delivery and given following response (FR) training in a circular runway every 2 h over the first day after birth. A variety of imprinting objects were employed. Ss were subsequently given preference trials wherein the original lure was pitted against novel stimuli. Every pup developed a FR to the moving lure and, in choice testing, followed that object in preference to competing stimuli. These observations provided a clear-cut demonstration of classical imprinting in a mammal.
