AB - "A group of rats were run in a single discrimination point apparatus. The choice involved was between a ten-second feeding on one food and a one-minute feeding on a different food. The appetites for the two foods used were equal at the start of the experiment. After 24 days, the animals ran only slightly more than 50 percent of the time to the greater amount of food. A control group showed that if only one food were involved, the animals would learn to run to the greater amount of food almost 100 percent of the time. It was further found that the number of runs made by the experimental group to the greater amount of food was increased by increasing the strength of the hunger drive."
