Morphine-induced taste avoidance is attenuated with multiple conditioning trials
Abstract
Morphine has paradoxical effects in learning experiments. The drug can serve as a reinforcer in several situations; yet rats avoid tastes paired with morphine, much as they avoid tastes paired with an emetic drug such as lithium chloride (LiCl). The results of the present experiment indicate that, in contrast with LiCl-induced taste avoidance, the strength of morphine-induced avoidance is nonmonotonically related to the duration of training. …
