Ten ferrets were allowed to move about freely in a Y‐maze with an additional centre arm, for three periods of time. A change in brightness was then effected by removal of an anomalous arm insert and entrance archway to produce a maze of uniform brightness. On a subsequent critical trial the ferrets were observed to enter first the arm in which this change had been made. The results are discussed in terms of perceptual satiation, development of a response habit, response inhibition and stimulus change. The last possibility is shown to be the most appropriate, thus confirming conclusions from rat studies
