Conditioned extension of the proboscis in restrained honeybees with odor as the CS and sucrose solution—delivered to the antenna (to elicit extension of the proboscis) and then to the proboscis itself—as the UCS. In a 1st series of experiments, acquisition was found to be rapid, both in massed and in spaced trials; its associative basis was established by differential conditioning and by an explicitly unpaired control procedure. Both extinction and spontaneous recovery in massed trials were demonstrated. In experiments on the nature of the UCS, eliminating the proboscis component lowered the asymptotic level of performance, whereas eliminating the antennal component was without effect; reducing the concentration of sucrose from 20% to 7% slowed acquisition but did not lower the asymptotic level of performance; and second-order conditioning was demonstrated. In experiments on the role of the UCS, an omission contingency designed to eliminate adventitious response-reinforcer contiguity was found to have no adverse effect on acquisition. In experiments designed to analyze the resistance to acquisition found after explicitly unpaired training in the 1st experiments, no significant effect was found of prior exposure either to the CS alone or to the UCS alone, although the unpaired procedure again produced resistance that was shown to be due to inhibition rather than to inattention; extinction after paired training was found to be facilitated by unpaired presentations of the UCS.(33 ref)(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
