Abstract

BlowfliesCalliphora vicina were trained to discriminate between two salt stimuli applied to their labellar taste organ, using a classical conditioning procedure modified after Nelson (1971). In Experiment 1, flies were trained to discriminate between concentrations of NaCl (Fig. 5). From this, the differential threshold (DT) was estimated to be 0.22 log units. The actual perceptual DT was argued to be above 0.05 log units, on the basis of electrophysiological data.
