“…With these Ss, then, the primary determinant of responsiveness to ICS remains that portion of the variance attributable to a S factor, which in turn is most likel~ related to variations in exact stimulation. This conclusion of the overwhelming importance of exact stimulation to the determination of exact responsiveness for ICS is the same conelusion that other data have indicated (e.g., West et al, 1971;Westcott, Reid, & Wasden, 1969).…”

Rats were run for hypothalamic intracranial stimulation (ICS) every day for 32 days in an alley maze. On one-half of the days, rats were deprived of food for 24 h. Rats ran the first trial of a day faster for ICS when food deprived. Running speed remained relatively constant across testing when deprived, but slowly increased across the days when rats were not deprived. Range of responsiveness across deprivation-nondeprivation conditions was small compared to range of responsiveness across Ss, indicating that deprivation itself was a minor determinant of the reinforcing value of ICS.

Rats were run in alleys for water reinforcement with intertrial intervals (ITIs) similar to the intervals typically used in studies of intraoranial reinforcement. When deprived over 15 hr., rats ran faster with very short (7 sec.) ITIs than with longer ITIs (95 sec.). Comparisons with rats described in other studies running for intracranial reinforcement led to the conclusion that, regardless of what kind of reinforcer is used, rats run faster for a reinforcer when ITIs are only seconds long rather than over a minute.

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.
