In three experiments we examined the role of homecage environmental stimuli on learning an aversively motivated spatial discrimination task in I I-day-old rats. Varying the presence and absence of nest shavings in the correct and incorrect arms of a T-maze in Experiment 1 revealed that nest shavings
