The contribution of latent inhibition to reduced generalization after pre-exposure to the test stimulus
چکیده انگلیسی

Two experiments assessed the contribution of latent inhibition to the generalization-reducing effects of pre-exposure to the test stimulus using a taste aversion procedure in rats. In both experiments, lithium chloride induced illness was paired with a flavor compound (AX) of either salt or sugar (A or B) and hydrochloric acid (X). Generalization of the resulting aversion to a test compound (BX), was assessed after varying pre-exposure to BX, X, and B. Experiment 1 showed that generalization to BX was less when BX itself had been exposed than equivalent pre-exposure to either B and X separately or to B and a new compound (CX). Experiment 2 showed that levels of generalization varied directly as a function of the amount of pre-exposure to BX. The findings show that latent inhibition alone cannot account for the generalization-reducing effect of pre-exposure to BX.
