The purpose of the present study was to examine the relative adequacy of the dry mouth vs. emotional theories of SIP using the desalivate rat. (Author)

The present series of experiments attempted to analyze more fully the contributions of stimulus-reinforcer and response-reinforcer relations to autoshaping within a single conditioning situation. (Author)

This article presents an analysis of the similarities between the stimulus familiarization effect and latent inhibition. (Editor)

Pairing a novel flavor with illness results in the conditioning of aversions to that flavor. This article reported a series of experiments examining the effect of several parameters of prior exposure to the illness on the acquisition of learned taste aversions. (Author/RK)

While incentive contrast has been reliably demonstrated in single-response situations, tests for contrast-of-choice behavior have invariably failed to obtain the effect. Three experiments were reported that eliminated features of prior methodology which can mask the effect. (Editor/RK)

The present research evaluated the refractorylike response decrement, as found in habituation of auditory evoked peripheral vasoconstriction in rabbits, to determine whether or not it represents a short-term habituation process distinct from effector fatigue or sensory adaptation. (Editor)

Rat received conditioning based upon a food unconditioned stimulus and then received manipulations designed to reduce the value of that food. The effects of these manipulations were assessed during extinction tests of the conditioned stimuli. (Editor/RK)

Three experiments are reported in which rats first received 50 escapable or inescapable signaled-shock trials. The results of the experiments are discussed in terms of a learned active-inactive predisposition to respond. (Editor/RK)

The purpose of the present study was to investigate interference in pigeon short-term memory using an intertrial interference paradigm. (Author)

This study provided added support for the generalization that the neural processes associated with the startle reflex are engaged by small changes in the auditory environment. They also pointed to a measure of separation between the processes responsible for inhibition and those responsible for latency shift. (Editor/RK)

Two experiments employing 180 rabbits and involving tone conditioned stimuli (CSs) and intraoral water unconditioned stimuli (UCSs) investigated pseudoconditioning of jaw movement. (Editor)

Two experiments demonstrated that Pavlovian counterconditioning alters not only the responses elicited by an aversive stimulus but also the capacity of that stimulus to act as a reinforcer in a fear-conditioning paradigm. (Author/RK)

Four experiments tested the conditioned attention theory (CAT) of latent inhibition (LI). (Author/RK)

Visual memory in monkeys was examined under four different conditions, each with a separate group. (Editor)

This study is concerned with the transfer of learned helplessness from one aversive motivator, shock, to another, frustration. (Author)
