Taste aversion challenged the idea that immediacy is key in classical conditioning stimulus pairings.
“For example, taste aversion (Garcia et al. 1966) challenged the idea that immediacy per se is key in stimulus pairings in classical conditioning, as illness could follow by tens of hours and still induce aversion to ecologically sensible food-related cues.”
From Evolving the future: Toward a science of intentional change (2014) · cites this paper as Garcia et al. 1966
The introduction says that immediate reinforcement is not required for all learning, and the Results and Discussion report taste aversion after delayed drug injections. This supports the challenge to immediacy, but the reported significant effect extends to 75 minutes, not the citing sentence’s “tens of hours.” The discussion mentions other avoidance responses developing hours after ingestion, without establishing that duration for this experiment.

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.
