Abstract

This study examined the effect of lesions of the hippocampus in rats and delay of reinforcement (0 or 10 sec) on the acquisition of a spatial response in a Y-maze. The results indicated that the acquisition of the response is markedly retarded in animals with lesions of the hippocampus when a 10-sec reinforcement delay is used. The results are taken to support the notion of increased distractibility in the lesioned animals.
