Abstract
Describes an experiment with 72 male Sprague-Dawley rats. Thiamine deficiency and recovery from deficiency were paired with distinctively flavored drinking solutions in a procedure previously shown to produce learned aversions and/or preferences for tastes. Data suggest that tastes paired with deficiency elicited the symptoms of deficiency, while tastes paired with recovery elicited responses seen in recovery. Findings are discussed within the framework of a classical conditioning model of learned aversions. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)Keywords
