“…These findings parallel those ofTaukulis and Revusky (1975), who demonstrated the power of an olfactory conditioned inhibitor (developed with an A+, AX -procedure) to elevate consumption of an excitatory taste stimulus.…”

“…Such inhibitors can prevent or reduce the magnitude of a conditioned response (CR). Best (1975) and Taukulis and Revusky (1975) were the first investigators to demonstrate this phenomenon in toxin-induced CT A. Successful demonstration of conditioned inhibition with vestibular-induced illness would not only indicate the generality of the phenomenon within the CTA framework, but would also provide indirect support for Treisman's notion relating toxin effects to those of provocative vestibular stimulation.…”

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.

“…Thus, saccharin in the presence of the odor could conceivably be sufficiently different from saccharin in the absence of the odor, resulting in a stimulus generalization decrement from conditioning to extinction in the D groups. Odor-toxicosis conditioning has been demonstrated in a nu mb er of studies (Domjan, 1973;Lorden, Kenfield, & Braun, 1970;Taukulis, 1974;Taukulis & Revusky, 1975). However, arecent study by Hankins, Rusiniak, and Garcia (1976) has indicated that odor cues are of little significance in poison-avoidance learning.…”

In two experiments, saccharin (CS) and lithium chloride (US) were paired in a context consisting of specific visual, auditory, tactual, and olfactory cues. The saccharin aversion was then extinguished in a context free from conditioning-context cues. Later, saccharin preference tests were given in the presence and absence of these cues. The results indicated that the background cues of the conditioning trial controlled the amount of saccharin drunk on extinction trials, and, furthermore, that extinction of the taste aversion was context specific; i.e., groups given extinction trials in a different (from conditioning] context retained their saccharin aversion in the conditioning context only. The results indicate an important role played by the exteroceptive context in taste-aversion conditioning.

“…Although there are several early reports that claimed to demonstrate a superconditioning effect (e.g., Blanchard & Honig, 1976;Rescorla, 1971;Taukulis & Revusky, 1975), Navarro et al (1989) pointed out that these studies did not use the elemental-acquisition control condition, but only the overshadowing control condition. Thus, these studies did not address the possibility that the observed enhanced responding was merely an attenuation of the overshadowing effect.…”

Three conditioned taste aversion experiments with rats investigated superconditioning. In each experiment, alternate exposures of 2 flavor compounds with a common element (i.e., AB/AS) were administered to establish an inhibitory relationship between the 2 unique elements, B and S, and prior to testing, S was paired with lithium chloride (LiCl). In Experiment 1, pairings of a neutral cue (X) with S in compound with B after the AB/AS exposures resulted in superconditioning between X and S. Extinction of the common element (A) just before the SϪLiCl pairing attenuated both the inhibitory relationship between B and S (Experiment 2) and superconditioning between X and S (Experiment 3). These observations suggest that superconditioning consists of enhanced performance rather than enhanced associative acquisition.
