Abstract
Day-old domestic chicks and Mallard ducklings rapidly learned to depress a pedal that switched on a flashing light. The flashing light, which the birds had never seen before, elicited filial behavior and was known to be highly effective as an imprinting object. Chicks that had been previously exposed to the light did not learn the problem any more quickly than those that had not.
