"Learned safety" as a mechanism in long-delay taste-aversion learning in rats.
Abstract
Rats learn taste aversions with unusually long CS-US delays. This has previously been explained as slow decay of a CS trace or as relative lack of interference. We propose, however, that the CS-US delay gradient is a learning curve: During the delay, a rat gradually learns that a taste is safe. A solution which a rat drinks only once becomes safe and resistant to learned aversions for at least 3 wk., suggesting a learned safety mechanism. If a rat drinks a solution twice (within the effective CS-US interval) before a single poisoning, it learns less aversion than if it received only the second presentation. The learned-safety theory explains this result; a trace-decay or interference model cannot.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
