Abstract:Two food-deprived female albino rats received 16% sucrose pellets under a fixed-time (FTl 60-sec food-reinforcement schedule, with water freely available in the test chamber. After water intake stabilized for each animal, subjects received either 6% or 32% sucrose pellets under the same FT 60-sec reinforcement schedule. This phase was followed by a replication of the initial 16% sucrose pellet condition for each animal. Water intake was found to decrease for each animal following an initial shift from 16% sucr… Show more
