Gap in the conditioned stimulus: Differential impacts on temporal expectancy in appetitive and aversive conditions in rats

Résumé

We analyzed, through a Pavlovian conditioning procedure in rats, the temporal pattern of behavior in appetitive and aversive conditions within subjects, and the difference in inferred temporal working memory functioning with the Gap paradigm. For both conditions, we paired a 60-s conditioned stimulus (CS: tone1 or tone2) with an unconditioned stimulus (US: shock or chocolate pellet) delivered 20s after CS onset. The analyses of mean response rate and individual-trial data were performed during Probe trials, consisting of CS alone, and trials in which gaps of different position or duration were inserted, to assess the effect of the temporal manipulation on behavior. The results showed: (1) An anticipatory peak time in the aversive condition but better accuracy in the appetitive condition, (2) constancy in the Weber fraction suggesting that the difference in peak time was under clock control, (3) a graded effect of gap parameters only in the aversive condition and (4) different gap effects between conditions when a gap was inserted early in the CS. These results highlight behavioral differences between aversive and appetitive conditions and suggest that the temporal working memory mechanism was not engaged in the same manner in each condition.
