Abstract
The purposes of this study were to determine: (1) if naive hamsters could be induced to behave maternally through exposure to pups (i.e., to become “sensitized”); (2) if previous exposure to pups had any effect on the latency to sensitize; and (3) the differences in the latency to sensitize between males and females. Naive females sensitized with a mean latency of 18 hr; previously sensitized females, 28 hr; and males 72 hr. The female groups did not differ from each other, and naive females differed significantly from naive males.
