Primes¶
- Habit
- The experimenter then devalues the outcome — pairs the pellet with mild illness so the rat no longer wants it, or pre-feeds the rat to satiety.
This sourceShows overtraining renders lever-pressing insensitive to reinforcer devaluation, the experimental signature of habit.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
Adams (1982) reports that rats given limited, but not extended, training integrated subsequent devaluation of the sucrose reinforcer with the instrumental contingency; the abstract says nothing about cue-to-action binding.
“Experiment I showed successful integration following limited but not extended instrumental training.”
- The experimenter then devalues the outcome — pairs the pellet with mild illness so the rat no longer wants it, or pre-feeds the rat to satiety.
Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
