Abstract

Rats were trained in a single-unit T-maze while satiated, for food and water. Criterion of learning was achieved most rapidly by the constant-incentive-position group, next by the no-incentive group and markedly slower for the reversed-incentive group. "The results of the performance of the three groups provided marked evidence of irrelevant-incentive learning under conditions of satiation."
