Extract
Normal behaviour traits control the ability of fishes to form conditioned motor responses. This is shown by a series of experiments upon various species of fish in which it is found that Pleuronectids are found incapable of forming such responses for at least 200 associated presentations whilst other fishes have done so in less than 40. The bearing of the results on current theories of animal learning is briefly discussed.
