Abstract

Four pigs were subjected to a progressive ratio schedule for food. The number of responses in the final completed ratio, defined as the breaking point, was shown to be a very sensitive measure of food motivation. The breaking point was increased after diazepam (1 mg/kg), this effect being far more important than those produced by changes in food motivation.
