Description
This test assesses the reinforcement of drug efficacy with the use of a conditioning procedure. Conditioning can be either classical or pavlovian. Animals are tested in either control (non-drug) or experimental (drug) conditions and allowed to explore their environment. Time spent in a preferred environment reinforces the value of the drug being tested. Animals avoid certain environments based on their condition (conditioned place aversion) or spend more time in a drug-associated environment.
