The effect that being subjected to different environmental situations has in the adult mouse is analysed. Adult mice are placed for that, in groups of twelve mice in cages that contains ramps, catwalks, passages, sleeping boxes and play objects, that were changed in their relative position several times in the week. Other mice were placed in groups of four mice in smaller boxes and without these objects. After 60 days in these conditions mice's exploratory behaviour and their learning ability in a complex maze were studied. A significant difference was observed between these two groups, as much in their exploratory behaviour as in the time spent on resolving maze, and the number of mice that resolved it in every one of ten successive trials.
分析了成年小鼠在不同环境条件下所产生的影响。为此，将成年小鼠按每组十二只放置在装有坡道、通道、通路、睡眠盒和玩具的笼子里，这些物品的相对位置在一周内多次改变。其他小鼠则按每组四只放置在较小的盒子里，且没有这些物品。在这些条件下饲养60天后，研究了小鼠在复杂迷宫中的探索行为和学习能力。在这两组小鼠之间观察到了显著差异，无论是在探索行为方面，还是在解决迷宫所用的时间以及在连续十次试验中每次成功解决迷宫的小鼠数量方面。
