Abstract

Groups of 20–34 C577BL/6J mice, aged 75, 225, 375, and 525 days, learned a brightness discrimination for water. The error scores of the 75‐ and 525‐day groups were almost identical, and both made significantly more errors than the 225‐day‐old mice. Both immature and older mice appear to be deficient in learning ability compared to young adults.
