Abstract

Instrumental conditioning of late components of photic evoked potentials in cats was demonstrated using both random and regular interflash intervals. Cats performed equally well under both conditions. During conditioning, it was observed that cortical recordings from sites other than those to which the reinforcement contingency was applied showed systematic changes.
