在回顾了神经控制未习得行为的文献后，作者给出了一项实验的数据，在该实验中，30只正常大鼠、50只皮质手术大鼠、10只皮质盲鼠和10只环钻但没有皮质剥夺的大鼠受孕，然后在需要调整的各种条件下观察照顾它们的幼崽的情况。根据取回散落的粪便、对气流的反应、幼崽死亡率等因素对这些动物进行评级。结果以曲线、条形图等形式定量呈现，表明“大脑1%至57%的皮质损伤降低了母体行为的天生组织模式的效率，甚至完全消除了这种模式。”周围性失明略微降低了操作效率。单独使用Trephine没有任何效果。据称，这些实验未能支持这样一种观点，即“天生的反应模式完全由皮层下机制来调节。”广泛的参考文献；说明垃圾状况和病变重建的图示。(心理信息数据库记录(C)2017 APA，保留所有权利)
After reviewing literature on the neural control of unlearned behavior, the author presents data from an experiment in which 30 normal, 50 cortically operated, 10 cortically blinded, and 10 trephined but not cortically deprived rats were impregnated and then observed while caring for their litters under various conditions calling for adjustment. The animals were rated in terms of such factors as retrieving scattered litter, responding to air currents, mortality of young, etc. The results, presented quantitatively in curves, bar diagrams, etc., suggest that the" innately organized pattern of maternal behavior is rendered less efficient or completely abolished by cortical lesions ranging from 1 to 57 per cent of the cerebrum." Peripheral blindness slightly decreased efficiency of performance. Trephining alone had no effect. It is claimed that these experiments fail to support the view that" innate modes of response are mediated exclusively by subcortical mechanisms."
