Volume discrimination in golden hamsters. 1978

C Thinus-Blanc

To 8 subjects (golden hamsters, Mesocricetus auratus), having learned to discriminate between two cubic volumes of very different size, test-situations were presented to determine if the three spatial dimensions were taken into account during learning. The results show that width is the most used dimension.
