F jerdingstad , E. J. Chemical transfer of alternation training in the Skinner box. Scand. J. Psychol ., 1969, 10 , 220–224.—In six individual experiments one group of recipient mice was injected with brain extract from rat donors trained to alternate between bars in a Skinner box; another group was injected with extract from donors reinforced for pressing either bar irrespective of choice. During testing the recipients of ‘alternation extract’ showed a significantly higher tendency to alternate.
