Chemo-klino-kinesis in planarian food location.
The effects of a homologous series of buffered fatty acid solutions on planarian behaviour were measured as the change in klino-kinetic activity.  On the basis of the results obtained a model demonstrating the function of this behaviour pattern in the food-locating response was proposed.  The model suggested that qualitative rather than quantitative gradients were effective in stimulating klino-kinetic orientation.
