Choice responses during consummatory successive negative contrast in rats

In rats, a change from a preferred solution (e.g. 32% sucrose) to a less preferred (e.g. 4%) produces an abrupt decrement in consumption below the levels of an unshifted group that always had access to the less preferred solution. This phenomenon -known as consummatory successive negative contrast e...
