Abstract
A two-group randomized design was used to evaluate the exploration of a five-path elevated maze by 40 male rats in the presence of Ss’ caretaker and in the presence of a stranger. Ss explored the maze more in the presence of the caretaker than in the presence of the stranger (p .01). The data suggest that the caretaker effect in rats is a function of the presence of a stranger, rather than the presence of S’s caretaker, during exploration.
