To test the hypothesis that prior patterned or varied auditory experience was necessary for the development of discrimination of auditory frequency, Sprague-Dawley albino rats were deprived of patterned sound from birth by the technique of rearing them in white noise. The sound-deprived rats learned a frequency discrimination as easily as controls reared in varied sound conditions.
为了验证如下假设，即事先有规律或多样化的听觉体验对于听觉频率辨别能力的发展是必要的，通过在白噪声环境中饲养的技术，使斯普拉格-道利白化大鼠从出生起就被剥夺有规律的声音。与在多样化声音环境中饲养的对照组相比，声音剥夺组的大鼠同样轻松地学会了频率辨别。
