摘要
In three experiments it was demonstrated that water-deprived rats preferred sucrose solutions to water or lower concentration sucrose within the first 5 min of a test period. The preferences were as great as those shown by food-deprived rats. An hypothesis is offered to explain the discrepancy between these results and the indiscriminate behavior of rats toward sucrose solutions in bar-pressing situations. © 1969, Psychonomic Journals, Inc..
