In a series of experiments in rats, Weingarten et al. repeatedly paired a light/buzzer stimulus with the presentation of food ov
er a period of 11 days. After this training period, they made food freely available to the rats and randomly presented the light/buzzer. What did they find?
In the experiment in question, Weingarten et al continued over 11 days, where the food was made freely available and coupled with a light stimulus,
Weingarten demonstrated that rats would make up for the underlying sign driven episode of sustaining and that complete 24-hour admission was comparable on days with prompts and days without signals.
The rats ate the nourishment at whatever point the light/signal was displayed, regardless of whether they had recently completed a supper.
