Abstract: Nine rats in each of two experiments were trained for 64 trials (8 trials per day) to determine if they could acquire a two-choice discrimination based on a specified discriminative stimulus (SD). In one experiment the SD was a change in ambient illumination while in the second experiment the SD was a change in the magnetic fields and any cues attendant to energizing the coils that produced the magnetic field exposure. The rats that had a change in illuminance as the SD learned the two-choice task easily, p
