摘要：

Rotationally induced (motion sickness) taste aversions (TAs) were studied within strains of rats that had been selectively bred as efficient or inefficient learners of cyclophosphamide induced TAs to a saccharin solution. As hypothesized, rotation following saccharin ingestion produced reliable TAs within the TA prone strain, but had no comparable effect on TA resistant rats. Pseudo-conditioning- and restraint-control procedures supported a conditioning (associative) based interpretation of strain differences in TA acquisition. These results confirm that strain differences in TA conditionability are not restricted to the cyclophosphamide-induced TAs that were the selection bases of strain development. The rotational stimulation was delivered via a multisubject rotational apparatus that fulfills the design objectives of providing an efficient and inexpensive nonpharmacological approach to TA conditioning. © 1990.
