To test for differential effects of early environment on the problem-solving of bright and dull rats, a group of each was reared in an" enriched" environment and in an" unstimulating" one. Bright and dull control animals were reared under usual laboratory conditions. As tested by the Hebb-Williams maze, enrichment facilitated learning ability in dull rats, but not bright ones. A restricted environment markedly handicapped members of the bright strain, but produced no impairment in the dull group. A neurophysiological explanation is suggested.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
