Resumen

El objetivo principal de este estudio fue evaluar si la extinción de la bebida adjuntiva inducida por programa (polidipsia) podía quedar bajo control contextual. La bebida se indujo mediante un programa de administración de comida de tiempo fijo 30 segundos (TF30). El experimento 1 utilizó un diseño factorial 2 x 2 con Programa (TF30 vs. comida al inicio de la sesión) y Estímulo (presencia o ausencia de un sonido de 10s al final de cada periodo de 30s dentro de la sesión) como factores. La adquisición y la extinción se realizaron en contextos diferentes, regresando al contexto de adquisición durante la prueba. El experimento 2 introdujo una condición de control que recibió la prueba en el contexto de extinción. La recuperación de la extinción se observó como un aumento en la ingesta de agua (así como en las entradas en el comedero) durante la prueba, independientemente de la presencia del sonido. Se discuten las implicaciones de estos resultados para la interpretación de la bebida inducida por programa como una respuesta condicionada.
