Rats were tested for induction of maternal behavior by exposing them to young pups continously for 10 to 15 days. Nonpregnant intact, ovariecto-mized. and hypophysectomized females were studied, as well as intact and castrated males. Nearly all the animals exhibited the four main items of maternal behavior and there were only minor differences in the latencies for the onset of maternal behavior among the various groups. It is concluded that all rats have a basic level of maternal responsiveness which is independent of hormonal stimulation.
通过将大鼠连续暴露于幼崽10至15天来测试其母性行为的诱导情况。研究了未怀孕的完整雌性、卵巢切除的雌性和垂体切除的雌性，以及完整雄性和去势雄性。几乎所有动物都表现出母性行为的四个主要方面，并且不同组之间母性行为开始的潜伏期只有微小差异。得出的结论是，所有大鼠都有一个基本水平的母性反应能力，这与激素刺激无关。
