Abstract
Deprivation of visual experience for short periods (0, 2, 4 and 8 hrs.) increased the responsiveness to visual incentives as a function of length of visual deprivation, the effect appearing to be maximal at 4 hours. "These data provide another demonstration of the similarities beween behavior based on a proposed curiosity drive and behavior based on biological drives.".Keywords
