Abstract
A dog with esophageal fistual failed to learn to push a lever for direct stomach injection, but did learn to push the lever for sham feeding. Stomach preloading produced little or no reduction in operant responses for sham feeding. Differences in results between rat and dog are dis-cussad.This publication has 13 references indexed in Scilit:
