11-14日龄大鼠在给被动鼠喂奶时，给予一种新的嗅觉刺激，会对这种刺激产生条件偏好。如果幼崽在哺乳时得到了奶，条件偏好的程度会比没有得到奶的幼崽更大。婴儿似乎能在吃奶的时候学习；产奶可能在这一联想过程中发挥了作用。
When presented a novel olfactory stimulus while suckling a passive dam, 11-14 day old rat pups acquire a conditioned preference for that stimulus. The magnitude of the conditioned preference is greater if the pups received milk while suckling than if they did not. Infants seem capable of learning while suckling; milk delivery probably plays a role in this associative process.
