Visual deprivation experiments have demonstrated that the development of pattern discrimination in the fly depends on experience in the early period after emergence. Based on this finding, a behavioral study was done in which flies had their eyes partially covered during selective deprivation treatment. This study demonstrated that several simple visual patterns are mainly identified in a restricted, pattern-specific region of the compound eyes, and also that the effect of visual deprivation is produced in the unilateral compound eye and is not transferred to the contralateral side.
视觉剥夺实验表明，果蝇图案识别能力的发展取决于羽化后早期的经历。基于这一发现，进行了一项行为学研究，在选择性剥夺处理过程中部分覆盖果蝇的眼睛。该研究表明，几种简单的视觉图案主要是在复眼的一个受限的、特定图案区域中识别出来的，而且视觉剥夺的影响是在单侧复眼中产生的，不会转移到对侧。
