Evidence for extinction and spontaneous recovery of a conditioned 1xbet sports betting preference

Dissertation Abstract

It is well established that 1xbet sports betting and food preferences can be affected by experience, specifically Pavlovian conditioning. However, past research has been unable to demonstrate extinction of 1xbet sports betting preferences produced by Pavlovian conditioning. This dissertation provides the first evidence for the extinction and spontaneous recovery of a conditioned 1xbet sports betting preference.

In Experiment 1, rats were conditioned to prefer one 1xbet sports betting to another by pairing that 1xbet sports betting (CS+) with sucrose and another 1xbet sports betting (CS-) with saccharin. These rats were then randomly assigned to one of four groups after conditioning: One of the experimental groups was given access to their CS+ 1xbet sports betting without sucrose (extinction) and the other experimental group was given access to both the CS+ and CS- 1xbet sports betting , but on alternating days. One of the two control groups was given access to their CS- 1xbet sports betting without the saccharin and the other control group was given access to water. During a two-bottle preference test given after the extinction sessions, the subjects in the two experimental groups consumed more of the CS- 1xbet sports betting than the CS+ 1xbet sports betting . The subjects in the two control groups continued to show a preference for the CS+ 1xbet sports betting . Thus, the subjects in the two experimental groups exhibited extinction of a conditioned 1xbet sports betting preference.

Experiment 2 was designed to replicate the results in Experiment 1 and then to demonstrate spontaneous recovery of the extinguished 1xbet sports betting preference. In Experiment 2, conditioning occurred in the same manner as in Experiment 1. During extinction training, the rats were assigned to one of three groups: The subjects in the experimental group were given access to their CS+ 1xbet sports betting , without the sucrose (extinction). One of the two control groups was given access to their CS- 1xbet sports betting without the saccharin and the other control group was given access to water. During a two-bottle preference test after extinction, the subjects in the experimental group exhibited extinction by decreasing their intake of the CS+ 1xbet sports betting and increasing their intake of the CS- 1xbet sports betting . A spontaneous recovery test was administered 7, 14, and 21 days after the extinction test. The preference for the CS+ 1xbet sports betting returned on all three tests, thus demonstrating spontaneous recovery for an extinguished 1xbet sports betting preference.

These data have implications for our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the conditioning of 1xbet sports betting preferences.
