Abstract
Drinking in rats was either preceded or accompanied by a tone. When barpressing was subsequently conditioned to the tone, it was found that more barpresses were made in a totally new environment than in the environment in which conditioning of the tone had taken place. Within each environment, there was no difference in the effectiveness of the tone stimuli.
