“…We have confirmed CAS by using both drug and nondrug events as avfail CSs and USs: Rotational stimulation (Biederman & Davey, 1993) can successfully substitute for pentobarbital, and high-ambient temperature (Davey & Biederman, 1996) can successfully substitute for lithium in the avfail procedure. We have confirmed CAS by using the indirect, consummatory measures of taste aversion conditioning (cf.…”

“…We have confirmed CAS by using the indirect, consummatory measures of taste aversion conditioning (cf. Biederman & Davey, 1993; Davey & Biederman, 1991, 1996) and pica in rats and by using the direct measures of retching and emesis in ferrets and have reconciled Lett's (1992, Experiment 1) apparently contradictory finding with the CAS interpretation.…”

“…Earlier research also failed to provide empirical support for a blocking interpretation of the avfail phenomenon (cf. Cunningham & Linakis, 1980; Martin, 1982), but Biederman and Davey (1993) and Davey and Biederman (1996) have identified pharmacological drug interactions potentially invalidating the earlier research. We have shown CAS with substitution of rotational stimulation for pentobarbital as the avfail CS (Biederman & Davey, 1993) and with substitution of high ambient temperature for lithium as the avfail US (Davey & Biederman, 1996) in valid procedures not susceptible to a drug interaction interpretation.…”

In a direct test of conditioned antisickness (CAS; B. T. Lett, 1983) theory, the authors measured emesis in ferrets and found those with a history of forward pairings of pentobarbital and lithium to have fewer and shorter bouts of emesis on test, whether induced by lithium or, in a subsequent test, by the highly emetogenic anticancer drug cisplatin. In an indirect test of her CAS theory, B. T. Lett (1992) paired interoceptive (drug) or place cues with lithium chloride toxicosis and found that rats with a forward-pairings history ate less food than controls on a forward-pairing test, consistent with conditioned sickness rather than CAS. But rats eat dirt or clay in response to sickness and adaptively eat small amounts of food when clay is not available. We substituted clay (kaolin) for food in a partial procedural replication of B. T. Lett's (1992, Experiment 1) experiment and found that rats with a history of forward pairings of pentobarbital and lithium ate less kaolin, which is consistent with CAS.
