Pups that had been reared with many nipples available reached criterion on an 8\u2010arm radial maze in a few trials; conversely, pups reared with only a few nipples required 3 times the number of trials to reach criterion (Experiment 1). Pups that had been reared with relatively few nipples available rarely nipple\u2010shifted, while those that had been reared with a particularly high density of nipples shifted more frequently (Expt 2). A rearing procedure was devised that allowed precise experimental control of all phases of the suckling experience (Expt 3). Allowing or preventing a single behavior, nipple\u2010shifting, while holding all other variables constant, was sufficient to affect acquisition of the maze task. In Experiment 4, the specificity of the early experience for later tasks was explored using a variety of nonspatial, lever\u2010pressing operants. Rearing condition did not affect acquisition of a lever\u2010pressing operant or of a visual discrimination task. However, pups reared with a high density of nipples responded at higher rates to a variable interval schedule and were more resistant to extinction. The possibility that strategy, rather than learning ability, was affected by rearing condition was assessed using a 2\u2010arm maze task that was structured to present an optimal strategy of either win\u2010shift or win\u2010stay (Expt 5). The ease with which rats acquired the win\u2010stay task was unaffected by rearing condition; all groups performed at about chance levels. However, pups reared with many nipples more readily acquired the win\u2010shift task.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/dev.420210102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,1]],"date-time":"2005-01-01T23:35:20Z","timestamp":1104622520000},"page":"1-24","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Experience during suckling alters later spatial learning"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Catherine P.","family":"Cramer","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John P.","family":"Pfister","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kristine A.","family":"Haig","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1037\/h0026741"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","unstructured":"Ader R.(1959).
