Several rodent species were blinded and their two-way avoidance behavior was compared to unoperated controls. Blindness facilitated avoidance learning in BALB/cJ mice, impaired learning in hamsters and had no significant effect on albino rats, hooded rats and chinchillas. Effects of blindness upon intertrial locomotor activity correlated well with effects of blindness upon avoidance learning. Preventing intertrial activity abolished the effect of blindness in mice, and did not change performance of blind albino rats.
将几种啮齿动物致盲，并将它们的双向回避行为与未做手术的对照组进行比较。失明促进了BALB/cJ小鼠的回避学习，损害了仓鼠的学习能力，而对白化大鼠、带帽大鼠和毛丝鼠没有显著影响。失明对试验间运动活动的影响与失明对回避学习的影响密切相关。阻止试验间活动消除了失明对小鼠的影响，并且没有改变失明白化大鼠的表现。
