    Abstract:
    In experiments on cats the rate of formation of conditioned reflexes to sound (running to the feeding trough) depended on the spatial interrelations of the paired stimuli: the closer the source of the conditioned signal to the feeding trough, the sooner the formation of the conditioned reflex. It has been assumed that during formation of a conditioned reflex the closing of connection between conditioned and unconditioned stimuli is also attended with the closing of connection between the spatial parameters of the paired stimuli. Experiments with inactivation through cold of the temporal area (cortical representation of the vestibular system) of one hemisphere have shown that such a connection is formed in central parts of the vestibular analyser. When the conditioned reflex is elaborated to one feeding trough, the connection is duplicated by both hemispheres; in reflexes to two feeding troughs (i.e. spatial choice) such connections are lateralized in each hemisphere.
