9.0 52.5 193.0 did not approach the test animal within 5 minutes, the test was terminated. Again, the groups differed markedly in their approach behavior. Median la-tencies are presented in Table 1. Ani-mals in the interaction condition had the shortest latencies, while animals in the isolation conditionhad the longest latencies, withthe latter dogs frequent-ly failing to contact the test rabbit in the entire 5-minute period (5). Appar-ently the essentialphenomenon is trans-situational, and not restricted to a given test arrangement or limited to the particular rabbit with which the pup had cohabited. These data are consistent in showing that interspecific rearing conditions have a pervasive influence on the young dog's response to another species to which it has been exposed. One of the more remarkable features of these re-sults was the rapidity of formation of the interspecific attachment. Subsequent experiments confirmed that the phenomenon was not an artifact of the test procedures adopted nor of the re-sponse index employed. Independent removal-replacement results were ob-tained from a new group of 31 dogs maintained in an interaction condition similar to that of the first experiment, but tested only after 88 hours of co-habitation (6). These results, which were free of the influence of repeated testing, were not significantly different from those obtained after 96 hours of interaction-cohabitation in the first ex-periment. Nor were the effects restrict-ed to the vocalization-disruption mea-sure. After 4 days in theinteraction condition, a significant shift was ob-tained in the preferenceof the experi-mental dogs for the rabbits. These data strongly suggest that significant changes in social preference occur over rela-tively short periods. A recently com-pleted study by Fleener (7) indicates that human infants share this capacity for the rapid estalblishment of social preferences.
