Abstract

Four laboratory mice were used in this experiment to test learning preparedness. It was assumed that as the trials increased the completion times of the mice would decrease.  Mice were individually placed in a constructed maze and allowed to run through the maze over a series of ten trials.  Time required for the mice to complete the maze was recorded after each trial and the data was compiled into a table which was then used to formulate a scatter plot.  Upon analyzing the results it was observed that each of the four mice exemplified a general downward trend.  The results of the experiment were in concurrence with the hypothesis previously stated.
