Abstract
Six food-deprived rats acquired a temporal discrimination of a DRL 15 schedule and their performance on the same schedule were observed following frontal ablation. Post-operative deficit resulted from such ablations; however, that deficit varied considerably from S to S but in all cases was a transient deficit.
