Female albino rats of the Sprague-Dawley strain, 31, 70, and 110 days of age, received 10 tests in an open field. The youngest animals increased their locomotor activity during successive tests; there was no increase among the older groups. Results demonstrate the hyperreactivity of immature rats and the possible role of this age-related effect on learning and memory is discussed
