Adult rats, which had either been handled daily between birth and weaning or left undisturbed during this period, were tested (i) in an enclosed Y‐maze for 3 min. on five successive days, and (ii) in a dark soundproof box for 1/2 hr. on six successive days; the box had a single lever, a response to which produced dim light of 1 sec. duration on the final three sessions only. An interaction between the effects of handling and of environmental familiarity was predicted. This was found in the response‐contingent light condition, but not in the maze study
