This page lists the experiments that I find (despite some difficult considerations) had very important results.
- rat dying by using lever to stimulate pleasure centers rather than eating

- "There is also developmental evidence that normal vision depends not only on movement of the body relative to the environment, but on self-actuated movement. Held and Hein (1963) performed an experiment in which two kittens were harnessed to a carousel. One of the kittens was harnessed in such a way that it stood firmly on the ground. The other kitten was suspended in the air. As the one kitten walked, both kittens moved in a circle. As a result, they received identical visual stimulation, but only one of them received that stimulation as a result of self-movement. Remarkably (but not surprisingly from an enactive viewpoint) only the self-moving kitten developed normal depth perception (not to mention normal paw-eye coordination). From an enactive standpoint, we can venture an explanation for this: only through self-movement can one test and so learn the relevant patterns of sensorimotor dependence."
