Summary In the previous paper we showed that injection of brain extracts taken from donors trained to respond to a taste stimulus changed the taste preference of the naive recipients so that they responded like the trained donors. To test the specifity of this effect, we submitted the recipients to various combinations of competing color and taste stimuli. In all situations, the behavior of the recipients was similar to that of the trained donors, suggesting the transfer of highly specific information.
