[Experimental investigation of habituation transfer]

The subject of investigation was the possibility of the transfer of habituation. In 20 pigeons frequency of optokinetic and postrotatoric head nystagmus was established. Then in 10 birds optokinetic habituation training and in 10 remaining pigeons rotatoric habituation training were performed. After acquisition of habituation in the first group, frequency of postrotatoric head nystagmus and in the second group frequency of optokinetic head nystagmus were defined. The transfer of optokinetic habituation to the rotatoric test was confirmed. The inverted process was not observed.
