## Abstract A recent test of 3โhrโold rats indicated surprisingly effective trace conditioning with a 60โs trace interval. The present study tested similar trace conditioning in pups 24โhrโold, in the absence of circumstances that immediately follow birth and might promote cognition. In Experiment

Abstract
Evidence for short sequences of interlimb coordination was found in 20โdayโold rat fetuses. Frameโbyโframe analysis of videotape records showed phase relationships indicating a pattern of alternation in sequences involving forelimbโforelimb and hindlimbโhindlimb coordination. Forelimbโhindโlimb coordination was not observed.

## Abstract This study investigated the capacity of the E20 rat fetus to adaptively alter patterns of interlimb coordination in a prenatal model of motor learning. Fetal limb movement was manipulated with an interlimb yoke, consisting of a fine thread attached at the ankles, which created a physica
One-day-old rats in a cool environment (25ะC) quickly acquired an instrumental response when rewarded with a 20-s warming of the platform (from 25ะC to 36ะC) on which they lay. The instrumental response, turning the head to one side, was learned within 30 min after the thermal contingency began and
