Reports 3 experiments with (a) 10 female hooded rats and their litters (reduced to 6 pups/litter);(b) 1 male and 4 female wild rats (Rattus norvegicus) and 2 litters (6 pups/litter) born to colony members; and (c) 6 litters of wild and 4 litters of hooded rat pups. Results indicate that adult Ss were capable of influencing their pups' choice of diet during weaning in 2 ways:(a) cues transmitted from a mother to her pups during the nursing period were sufficient to determine the dietary preference of the young at weaning, and (b) the presence of adult Ss at a feeding site was sufficient to determine the choice of feeding site by the pups independent of cues transmitted during the nursing period.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
