Abstract
50 cats were exposed to a long series of angular accelerations with experimental sessions separated by intervals of 1-14 days. A highly significant nystagmus response decline (habituation) resulted from this repeated exposure. While the acquisition of nystagmic habituation was not influenced by different distributions of acceleration experience, retention was systematically affected.Keywords
