A case is made for the conjoint use of surgical and functional hemidecorticate preparations in the investigation of compensation. Direct comparison of the effects of surgical and functional hemidecortication in rats in an active runway avoidance learning situation is reported. Trials to successively higher avoidance criteria, total avoidance responses, longest runs of consecutive avoidance responses, response latencies and running times are compared. None of these measures reveal differences between the two types of hemidecorticate preparation, although compared with a normal group both hemidecorticate groups show a deficit. The implications of this finding in terms of the compensation issue are discussed.
