Utilization of Odor Cues as a Function of Reward-Magnitude Contrast and Delay of Reinforcement
An experiment manipulating both reward-magnitude contrast and delay of reinforcement is reported. The results indicated that odor cues are produced under conditions of delayed large-reward versus nonreward contrast but not under large- versus small-reward contrast. Additional magnitude and delay manipulations that resulted in the elimination of odor-based double-alternation patterning in the straight runway are presented
Taste Preference of the Adult Rat as a Function of Prenatal Exposure to Ethanol
Two groups of pregnant rats (n = 10) received exposure to either 10% ethanol or water. All male offspring (n = 43) received a six-day preference test (ethanol vs water) at 90 days of age. Fluid consumption scores indicated a significant preference for water by all Ss. However, those animals receiving prenatal ethanol exposure consumed significantly more ethanol during preference testing than did the animals receiving prenatal water exposure
Shock-Elicited Aggression as a Function of Early Ethanol Exposure
Upon reaching maturity the offspring (N = 88) of animals exposed during pregnancy to ethanol and plain water, respectively, served as Ss in a shock-elicited aggression test. Significantly higher levels of aggression were shown by those animals that had received prenatal ethanol exposure. Several ethanol-related birth effects were also noted
Shock-Elicited Aggression as a Function of Acute and Chronic Ethanol Challenges
In a test of competing hypotheses regarding the effects of alcohol on shock-elicited aggression, animals maintained on a food restricted regimen were administered either chronic or acute ethanol challenges. Chronic Ss showed a significantly higher rate of target-directed aggression and spent significantly more time in aggressive activity than did acute or saline control animals. Results support the proposed interactive effect of food restriction …
