Abstract

The present study examined the influence of a signal for pellet delivery on the development and maintenance of polydipsia on fixed and variable time schedules. It was found that animals receiving a signal for pellet delivery developed polydipsia more quickly and had higher intake levels than animals not receiving such a signal on both schedules. These data support predictions derivable from the application of Pavlovian conditioning principles to the schedule-induced polydipsia phenomena.
