Abstract
Rats were trained in Tolman's "sunburst" apparatus modified to eliminate visual cues. Results consistent with his hypothesis of "cognitive maps" were obtained. There was a tendency to take the right sided test pathways pointing in the general direction of the food box. When the number of left and right turns in the training procedure were made equal and the ultimate turn was to the left, no tendency to turn right was found during testing.
