雄性和雌性白化大鼠分别观察15分钟。在一个探索盒中，可以访问小说的一半和相似的一半，每个受试者都被限制在其中 24 小时。在测试之前（即熟悉的一半）。使用行为采样技术，每 10 秒结束时记录一次。主体的一半器官处于哪个时期，以及它从事什么类型的活动。还记录了进入的探索单元的总数。所有老鼠在新的一半中比在熟悉的一半中被观察到的频率更高，但雄性和雌性之间的测量结果没有显着差异。然而，在超过 10 秒的时间里，雌性被发现正在进行探索活动。月经比男性多。此外，在小说中观察到的探索性活动与非探索性活动的比例，女性高于男性。研究发现，雄性比雌性更频繁地进行梳理、饮食和冷冻行为。男性的运动和探索活动在 15 分钟内出现下降。观察期。男性和女性的冷冻次数也有所减少，梳洗次数有所增加，而男性的饮食则有所增加。
Male and female albino rats were individually observed for 15 min. in an exploration box with access to a novel half and a similar half to which each subject had been confined for 24 hr. prior to testing (i. e. the familiar half). A behavior sampling technique was used whereby it was noted at the end of every 10-sec. period in which half of the apparatus the subject was and in what sort of activity it was engaged. The total number of exploratory units entered was also recorded. All rats were observed more often in the novel half than in the familiar half, but there was no significant difference between males and females on their measure. However, females were seen to be engaged in exploratory activity at the end of more 10-sec. periods than males. Also, the proportion of exploratory to non-exploratory activity observed in the novel half was higher for females than for males. Males were seen to be engaged in grooming, eating or drinking and freezing behavior more often than females. Decrements in locomotor and exploratory activity occurred for males during the 15-min. observation period. There were also decrements in freezing and increments in grooming for both males and females and an increment in eating or drinking for males only.
