Learning in the land snail (Helix aspersa Müller) [PDF]
A group of two experiments are discussed which demonstrate avoidance learning in land snails. Experiment I utilized the snail’s negative geotaxis and its chemoreceptive characteristics and required the snail to climb a vertical pole which contained a quinine-saturated loop of thread at the top.
