"Six rats were trained to follow leader rats in an elevated T maze to secure a reward of water. An incidental cue of two lights was then introduced such that the leaders responded consistently with respect to it. After 100 trials of following leaders who were responding to the incidental cue, Ss were given 20 trials alone. On 77% of these test trials Ss went to the arm marked by the cue to which the leader had been going. This finding was interpreted as a demonstration of transmission of learned behavior between animals, and it was explained on the basis of a continuity theory of discrimination learning.".
