The approach‐generating properties associated with intermittent white light favoring 4 flashes/sec over adjacent rates of flicker, become evident between 512 and 530 hr after the onset of incubation independent of hatch time. The appearance of these properties can be attributed largely to the decline in approach elicited by nonflashing white light during this period rather than to a change in attractiveness associated with the 4 flash/sec rate itself.
