Abstract
The present study compared the relative effectiveness of electric-shock and lithium chloride (LiC1) injections in suppressing cricket killing and eating by mice. Male ICR mice were tested for cricket killing and eating. Mice that attacked and ate a cricket were punished (with electric shock or LiC1 injections) after killing and eating crickets. Control mice received saline injections, delayed shock, or delayed LiCl injections after attacking and eating crickets. LiCl injections and electric shock were both effective in suppressing cricket killing and eating. Shock suppressed both attack and eating responses, while LiCl injections suppressed eating responses more than attack responses.
