Context specificity of latent inhibition in the snail Cornu aspersum [PDF]
Animal Cognition, 2022 AbstractThe present study was conducted to assess the context specificity of latent inhibition (LI) in the snail Cornu aspersum, using the appetitive Pavlovian Conditioning procedure of tentacle lowering. Snails experienced an odorous conditioned stimulus (CS) without any consequence before being conditioned with food.
