Abstract
AN EXPERIMENT WAS CARRIED OUT TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR NOT THE OPTOMOTOR RESPONSE OF THE COMMON SILVERSIDE FISH DEVELOPS GRADUALLY AND CONCURRENTLY WITH THE GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT OF SCHOOLING BEHAVIOR. RESULTS SHOW THAT OPTOMOTOR RESPONSES CAN BE ELICITED BEFORE THE TIME THE FISH TEND TO SCHOOL AS WELL AS WHEN THE SCHOOLING TENDENCY IS FULLY ESTABLISHED.
