Abstract/OtherAbstract:
In the latent inhibition (LI) paradigm, nonreinforced preexposure to a stimulus retards subsequent conditioning to that stimulus. Three experiments investigated the effects of acute amphetamine administration on LI in rats. Experiments 1 and 3 used a conditioned emotional response (CER) procedure and Experiment 2 used two-way active avoidance procedure. Experiments 1 and 2 showed that, in both the CER and avoidance procedures, 1.5 mg/kg dl-amphetamine administered either in the preexposure or the conditioning stage alone did not disrupt LI. In contrast, amphetamine administered in both of the stages abolished LI. Experiment 3 showed that the abolition of LI was obtained when the preexposure and conditioning were given 24 hr apart but not when the two stages were given in one session.
