Abstract

Operant keypecking, in order to view an imprinted stimulus, was greater in turkeys receiving injections of brain homogenates from similarly trained Ss when compared to birds receiving control injections. The observed transfer effect cannot be explained in terms of a general activity increase and is therefore assumed to be specific to the task. Moreover, the data suggest that such developmentally important behaviors as imprinting may be useful in the study of the biochemistry of behavior.
