Abstract
Rats ingested odor-alone and/or odor-taste solutions and were subsequently made ill by lithium chloride injections. Following poisoning, aversions to the odor stimuli were assessed using a two-bottle choice test. The results failed to provide clear evidence of odor-taste potentiation for all the stimuli we employed, regardless of the nature of the odor CSs administered and the use of both within- and between-group analyses. These findings suggest that previous reports of odor-taste potentiation may be somewhat tenuous, and that odor saliency and order of conditioning may play more important roles than potentiation does in the development of odor aversion.
