The temporal retina and visual discrimination in the rabbit.
Two types of visual discrimination apparatus for rabbits can be distinguished: one in which the animal is free to move close to the targets and another in which the choice has to be made at a distance. Previously, it had been found that rabbits have a tendency to fixate the patterns with the temporal retina for visual discrimination in the first type of apparatus. The present experiments show that this is also the case in an apparatus where the rabbit discriminates at a distance.
