摘要: Author(s): Nakajima, Sadahiko | Abstract: This article consists of two experiments reporting conditioned flavor avoidance (or taste aversion) in laboratory rats that swam the flavored water. A statistically reliable effect was demonstrated Experiment 1 by using a simple conditioning procedure with sweet (sodium saccharin) Compared control had no swimming experience or those tap water, experimental showed water choice test between it and if they swum for 20 min over four days. Rinsing off after on this learning. finding suggests tasting during critical. 2 confirmed learning differential sour (citric acid) bitter (denatonium benzoate) solutions. Although size relatively small reported here, new may contribute to future research concerning Pavlovian due its procedural simplicity.
