Abstract
Hooded rats trained to emit a two-operant chain under auditory control were again found to be less affected by omission of the signal correlated with the second operant than rats treated similarly but under visual control. Auditory control faded in darkness too, showing that control was not necessarily assumed by unscheduled visual sources.
