Conditioned aversion to saccharin solution was demonstrated by whole-body irradiation at doses of more than 25 R in 100-day-old Wistar rats. The degree of aversion depended on radiation dose and the duration of this effect depended on the age of the irradiated rats. The repeated conditioning produced the same degree of aversion as in the first conditioning. The sugar solution had no effect as a conditioning stimulus.
