T1 - Flavor and location aversions produced by ethanol
AU - Cunningham, Christopher L.
N1 - Funding Information:
Interestingly, despite the divergent effects of these drugs on location conditioning, all have been found capable of producing aversions to associated flavor stimuli (e.g., Cappell, LeBlanc, & Endrenyi, 1973; Mar- 1 This research was supported by a research grant to J. S. Brown from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (AA01229) and by a Biomedical Research Support Grant to the University of Oregon Medical School.

N2 - To test the possibility that ethanol might "simultaneously" be rewarding and punishing, male albino rats received five conditioning trials wherein access to saccharin was followed by injection of ethanol (1.5 g/kg) and placement in a distinctive compartment for 30 min. On alternate days, they were exposed to a second compartment without injection. Control rats received a similar treatment except that access to saccharin never preceded ethanol injection. Aversions were established to both flavor and location, and flavor did not interfere with conditioning of location aversion. Thus, ethanol appeared to have a uniformly negative effect.
