Abstract
Following VI training for food, 32 rats received 12 CSs (levers retracted) over 2 days during which three of four groups received free food. CS-free food contingencies were positive, negative, or absent; the fourth group received CSs alone. Subsequent CER acquisition (3 days) on the baseline revealed only a significant trials effect. These findings question the generality of the transfer-of-control phenomenon.
