“…However, we do not wish to imply that the fish telencephalon is a dedicated spatial processing structure. It has been previously shown that telencephalic ablation in fish produces deficits in social, territorial, reproductive, and parental behavior (Davis & Kassel, 1983), as well as in certain kinds of learning such as habituation (Laming & McKee, 1981; Peeke, Peeke, & Williston, 1972), trace conditioning (Savage, 1969a; Savage & Swingland, 1969), and avoidance learning (Farr & Savage, 1978; Gordon, 1979; Overmier & Flood, 1969; Overmier & Hollis, 1990; Savage, 1969b). In addition, it has been hypothesized that the fish telencephalon participates in other psychological processes such as arousal–attention, inhibition of dominant responses, working memory, and secondary or conditioned reinforcer processing (for reviews, see Flood, Overmier, & Savage, 1976; Hollis & Overmier, 1978; Savage, 1980).…”
