Abstract

The effects of altering neonatal levels of progestins on the later development of social play behaviour was studied. Progestin levels were raised in experiment one by administering injections of either progesterone or medroxyprogesterone acetate. This indicated that exposure to either hormone led to reduced levels of social play in juvenile rats of both sexes, confirming earlier reports of lowered levels of play following medroxyprogesterone obtained via maternal milk. In Experiment 2, endogenous progestin levels were lowered by administration of the antiserum to progesterone. The prediction that this should result in raised levels of juvenile play was supported for males, but not for females. Females in Experiment 2 by contrast showed a decrease in play. Possible reasons for this sex difference in response to progesterone antiserum are discussed.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
