Food versus perceptual complexity as rewards for rats previously subjected to sensory deprivation.
Rats raised in darkness or in a constantly lighted white cage go to food in a T-maze if the food is located in a checkerboard goal. They do not go to food if the food is located in a visually less complex, half-black, halfwhite goal. Normally raised rats go to food regardless of the visual complexity of the goal.
