Abstract
Cats were tested for acquisition and retention of conditioned avoidance response to an auditory CS following ablation of a portion of striate cortex and were found to be significantly deficient compared with normals. Blinding normal or operated cats with opaque contact lenses also caused a significant deficit in acquisition and retention of the CAR. Combination of striate cortex ablation and blinding by contact lenses prevented avoidance responses in four of ten operated cats. The marked deficit in an auditory task in the absence of visual cues suggests a complexity of effect of striate ablation not explainable only in terms of visual loss.
