Short communicationEffects of acute amphetamine exposure on two kinds of Pavlovian approach behavior
Section snippets
Differential effects of amphetamine on sign-tracking and goal-tracking
A Pavlovian conditioned appetitive approach or autoshaping procedure typically involves presentation of a conditioned stimulus (CS) which is followed shortly afterward with presentation of an unconditioned stimulus (US) such as food. In such a procedure, the response of approaching or contacting the CS typically develops even though doing so does not affect US presentation [2], or in some cases, reduces or eliminates exposure to the appetitive US [7]. As Pavlovian conditioned responses have
