Abstract

Two groups of normal rat Ss received 50 acquisition trials with large and small reward magnitudes, respectively. Two groups of anosmic Ss were trained under the same conditions. The results indicated that reward magnitude was positively related to performance in all measures for the normal Ss, but not for the anosmic Ss. The results are seen as: (1) supporting the traditional assumption of the effectiveness of reward magnitude, and (2) cautioning against the use of anosmic Ss as an odor control procedure until the full behavioral effects of anosmia are delineated.
