Abstract
Chickens could drink freely from a container of water, or from a less preferred solution of NaCl or quinine sulfate. After 18 days, during which a color cue distinguished the 2 fluids, Ss continued to choose the container of the color previously paired with water even when water was presented in both containers. Consumption of a disliked solution was less when the position of the solution was never changed than when it was changed 5 times a day. However, consumption of the unpleasant solution was somewhat greater when the solutions were switched once a day, presumably due to the reversals required in the learning of position that took place each day.
