Unusual cravings for non-nutritive foods or uncontrollable desires for odd choices or combinations of food may ...

Pavlovian analysis of interactions between hunger and thirst.

In four experiments we examined the effect of an irrelevant drive on classical conditioning with food and water. In the first experiment the irrelevant drive weakened the conditioned response in extinction. In Experiments 2 and 3, this suppressive effect was found also in acquisition. Furthermore, the presence of an irrelevant drive during nonreinforced presentations of the conditioned stimulus...

The thirst from which patients suffer after abdominal operations is so well known that I need not enlarge upon it. The cause of it, too, is sufficiently obvious. In such cases, fluids by the mouth are for a variable number of days contra-indicated, in order to obviate or minimize chloroform sickness, lest the consequent retching might strain the recent abdominal wound, and also in many cases to...
