Abstract
Rats were given 1-hr., 2-bottle preference tests with water and each of 6 concentrations of saccharine; ½ the animals had been deprived of food and water. Deprivation increased relative preference for saccharine, as well as increasing water intake. The effects due to drive state were more pronounced as saccharine concentration increased, and deprived rats preferred a higher concentration than did satiated rats.
