Abstract

Four groups of rats received rotation treatment.5, 15, 30, or 120 min after consumption of a saccharin solution. Taste aversion to saccharin developed after a single drinking-rotation session in the.5-min delay group and after three trials in the 15- and 30-min delay groups. No aversion to saccharin was found in the 120-min delay group. Rotation failed to produce learning to nongustatory cues in either CER or passive avoidance paradigms. It was concluded that rotation shared common effects with poisoning and irradiation.
