This interaction reflected the raised levels of exploration shown by the rats with perirhinal lesions on the first block of trials, simple effects, F 1, 80) = 9.67, p =.003, while for the remaining three blocks there was no difference between the rats with perirhinal cortex lesions and their controls, all F < 1 (see Figure 9).
