Cats were trained to press a bar to receive electrical stimulation in the region of the medial forebrain bundle. The training was achieved without the employment of prior training to any conventional reinforcer but required a very large number of stimulations before the cats began to show positive reinforcement from the stimulations. It appears that the cats' response to intracranial stimulation underwent a transition from negative to positive with continued experience
