and reference memory. Light and dark reared rats at the age of 40 (P40)
and 60 (P60) postnatal days were trained in a radial maze. Present results
indicated that in the working tasks, the P40 dark reared rats outperformed
their light reared counterparts. No difference in performance was observed
between the P40 light and dark reared rats. In both the light and dark
reared groups, the P60 animals outperformed the P40 ones on the working
memory experiments. In contrast, the P40 light and dark reared groups
showed superiority to the P60 animals in the reference memory tasks. Time
was found to drastically undermine the effects of sensory experience by
eliminating the difference between the light and dark reared rats` performances.]]>Berry, R.L., A.T. Perkins and T.J. Teyler,199362899104Crowley, J.C. and L.C. Katz,1999211251130Davis, S., A.L.
