Abstract
When presented with repetitive, three-tone patterns, chinchillas learned to make an avoidance response to an infrequent change in the frequency of the second tone but did not learn a response to the deletion of the second tone. This, together with other comparable data, may reflect the manner in which the chinchilla uses hearing in its natural environment.
