Abstract
Reflex behavior of Hermissenda in response to visual and rotational stimuli is described. It is shown that repeated association of light with rotation modifies the subsequent responses of the animals to light. This modification does not occur after the same period of light or rotation alone. The effect of the associative training is strongly dependent on the amount of daily light with which the animals are maintained.
