Taste Aversions Conditioned by the Aversiveness of Insulin and Formalin: Role of CS Specificity

Domjan, Michael; Levy, Carolyn J.

Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 3, 2, 119-31, Apr 77

Experimenters in the past have reported that when insulin is used as the unconditioned stimulus (US), rats will learn an aversion to a sodium chloride but not a sucrose solution, whereas with formalin as the US, they will learn an aversion to a sucrose but not a saline solution. The present experiments failed to confirm these findings. (Editor)
