  • Title: Rats' memory for serially presented novel flavours: evidence for non-spatial primacy effects.
    Author: Reed P, Croft H, Yeomans M.
    Journal: Q J Exp Psychol B; 1996 May; 49(2):174-87. PubMed ID: 8685395.
    Abstract:
    Four experiments examined the effects of serially presenting a number of novel flavours to rats on their subsequent consumption of those flavours. In Experiments 1-4, rats were orally infused with 0.5 ml of flavour over 30 sec for each of five flavours in the exposure phase of the experiment. In these studies, primacy and recency effects emerged, the size of the primacy effect being related to the length of the retention interval, which varied from zero to twenty-four hours. Thus, both primacy and recency effects can be generated using non-spatial stimuli with rats.
