Performance and consummatory behavior in the runway and maze as a function of cyclic deprivation.

Abstract
Comparisons were made in 2 situations between groups of rats subjected to the same daily deprivation cycle for different numbers of days. Ss that had had longer experience with the feeding schedule "(a) made runs of shorter latency in a runway situation and fewer errors in a maze, and (b) made a greater number of lower-latency consummatory responses." Possible explanations and implications of the results for latent learning studies are discussed. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
