Interocular transfer of two visual discriminations in hooded and albino rats.
Interocular transfer of a brightness and a pattern discrimination was compared in hooded and albino rats. Equally high levels of transfer were found in the two strains, and there was no difference in transfer between the two discriminations. The results indicate that interocular transfer in the rat does not necessarily depend on the uncrossed optic fibres, and that the commissures of the rat's brain are capable of efficient transfer.
