The effects of LiCl preexposure on amphetamine-induced taste aversions: an assessment of blocking.
Preexposure to lithium chloride attenuated the subsequent acquisition of amphetamine-induced taste aversions. This attenuation was independent of the similarity of the preexposure and conditioning environments, an effect inconsistent with an associative interpretation of the effects of LiCl preexposure. These results were discussed in terms of the mechanism underlying the effects of drug preexposure on taste aversion learning.
