“…Further, to our knowledge, no reported data exist on aversion effects following backward conditioning with neonatal rats. Barker and Smith (1974) and Monroe and Barker (1979) failed to obtain reliable aversion effects following backward conditioning procedures with LiC1. Barker, Suarez, and Gray (1974), Boland (1973), and Domjan and Gregg (1977) reported reliable evidence of aversion using cyclophosphamide and LiCI, respectively, although in 2 of these reports temporal factors sharply constrained the demonstration of aversion.…”

Laboratory rats, 18 and 90 days old, received an intraperitoneal injection (2% body weight) of .15M lithium chloride or .9% saline 10 or 30 min before 15-min access to 12% sucrose. Additional control groups received LiCl injection followed by tap water access. Testing with a 2-bottle choice procedure revealed reliable aversion effects for both age groups at each toxicosis-flavor interval. Adult rats showed reliably greater persistence of aversion following training with the 10- than with the 30-min interval. Rat pups showed no reliable differences in aversion across training intervals. Reliably greater aversion effects occurred for adults than for pups following training at the 10-min interval. Following training at the 30-min interval a similar reliable age effect occurred on Test Trial 1; but from Trial 2 onward the magnitude of aversion was similar for pups and adult rats.

“…Monroe and Barker (1979) found that such a relationship between saccharin and a low dosage of lithium chloride produced no excitatory conditioning to the saccharin. Little is known about the role in discriminative conditioning of the degree of contextual excitation on the development of inhibition to an exteroceptive stimulus (LoLordo & Fairless, 1985).…”

Conditioned inhibition of rotation-induced taste aversion

In three experiments, we investigated the existence of conditioned inhibition of body rotationinduced taste aversion. Rats were given conditioned inhibition training in which the taste of saccharin was always followed by rotations, but the taste of vanilla was not. Flavor-preference tests, retardation-of-acquisition tests, and summation tests of inhibition indicated that the vanilla stimulus had acquired conditioned inhibitory properties. These findings could not be interpreted as functions of either initial solution preferences or simple nonassociative effects of flavor preexposure. They lend support to a theory that views learning mechanisms as being central to the phenomenon of motion sickness, and suggest that inhibitors might be effectively employed to ameliorate its symptoms.
