Short-Term Memory of the Amplitude of Body Rotation in Orienting Behavior of African Clawed Frog (Xenopus laevis)

Table 1

Number of trials in which the frogs turned to the right (clockwise) or the left (counterclockwise) in above-body trials (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001, chi-square test).

The percentage under “correct” is the proportion of trials in which frogs made an orienting behavior toward the same direction as the stimulus direction.
