Table 4.

Marble-directed behaviors (medians and quartiles) for virgin males in the repeated-marble condition in their first (day 3), second (day 5), third (day 7), and fourth (day 10) exposure to a marble and virgin males in the single-marble condition in their only exposure to a marble (day 10). No differences in marble-directed behavior were seen across exposures within the repeated-object exposure condition. Virgin males in the single-object condition took nominally longer to approach the marble than virgin males in the repeated object exposure condition on day 10 (p=0.032).
