In two experiments, rats were given exposures to two solutions of different tastes (sucrose or sodium chloride) at two different temperatures (warm or cold). In Experiment 1, the rats were then given either one of the tastes at room temperature followed by LiCl injections, or distilled water at one of the temperatures followed by LiCl injections. Rats poisoned after drinking a taste were then given a choice between distilled water at the two temperatures, while those poisoned after drinking distilled water at a temperature were given a choice between the two flavors at room temperature. Rats drank less of the solution that contained the stimulus previously paired with the poisoned cue, demonstrating within-compound associations of tastes and temperatures. Experiment 2 found that tastes were better conditioned in a taste aversion procedure when the taste-temperature compound was the same during conditioning as during preexposure. This result is interpreted as evidence against a view of within-compound learning that treats the compound as a unitary stimulus.
