15 rats approximately 11 mo. old were randomly divided into three groups of 5 each in a randomized design which compared the effects of three different exposures to choice-point stimuli in a T-maze using a paradigm which precluded any response by the subject on Trial 1. Alternation increased with increasing exposure at the choice-point. This finding is supportive of stimulus satiation theory.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
