Adjunctive behavior of the rat under periodic food delivery in a 24-hour environment

Abstract: The behavior of 4 rats living in complex environments was monitored 24 h per day during freefeeding baseline and under conditions of periodic access to food. Under the periodic schedules, the minimum interfood interval (IFI) was increased from 16 to 512 sec in an ascending series. Periodic food produced robust overall increases in investigation of the feeder, drinking, general activity, and rearing, but not in wheel-running. The temporal distribution of behavior within the IFI was similar across subjects and s… Show more

“…Despite the extensive work on adjunctive behavior, there has been relatively little attention paid to interreward responses other than drinking and to rewards other than food (Roper, 1981). The contrast of the present results based on water with those of Lucas et al (1988) based on food, with the same kind of environment used for both studies, should provide insight into both the general and specific determinants of adjunctive and anticipatory behavior.…”

“…We used an extended range of interwater intervals, from 8 to 512 sec. The results were compared to the previously reported effects of periodic water in shorter sessions and to the effects of periodic food in the same 24-h environment (Lucas et al, 1988). The use of the 24-h environment allowed convergent ways of measuring excessive behavior.…”
