Allen, Association in the Giiiiiea Pig. 323 



From this experiment we conclude that no choice is pres- 

 ent. That is, no immediate discrimination is made between 

 the two boxes. This leads to the inference that the food in 

 itself furnishes no stimulus. But when placed in a given situa- 

 tion the guinea pig reacts to the environment as a whole. 



Test VIII. Learning a labyrinth. 



The next step in the experiment was to complicate the 

 path to the food, thus to find how quickly a more complex path 

 would be learned. 



For this purpose a wire labyrinth was constructed (Text- 

 fig. 6).

The apparatus is described on page 315. The^cage was 

 floored with smoked paper. The guinea pig was placed at Y. 

 A typical series of reactions will be given.
