两个人。旨在研究正常和脑手术猴子的视觉探索的持久性。实验我对6只动物进行了连续5天每天4小时的颜色辨别测试，唯一的奖励是对周围环境的视觉探索。在实验II中，对7只动物进行了一次连续的类似辨别问题的测试，直到它们停止对视觉刺激做出反应。表现的动机机制被解释为视觉探索，除了作为歧视学习的基础，是非常耐饱。这些数据表明，视觉探索的动机是抑郁的猴子双侧颞叶损伤。
Two expts. were designed to study the persistence of visual exploration in normal and brain-operated monkeys. Expt. I involved testing 6 animals 4 continuous hours a day for 5 days on a color discrimination problem in which the only reward was that provided by visual exploration of the surrounding environment. In Expt II, 7 animals were tested for one continuous session on a similar discrimination problem until they ceased responding to visual incentives. The motivational mechanism underlying performance is interpreted as being that of visual exploration, which, in addition to serving as a basis for discrimination learning, is extremely resistant to satiation. The data suggested that visual exploration motivation is depressed in monkeys with bilateral damage to the temporal lobes.
