Responding in the reversed visual discrimination task. (A) Performance in the first session where contingencies were reversed. Alcohol exposure rats performed fewer trials, with a fewer correct, and had a greater tendency to perseverate on the incorrect choice. (B) Number of sessions required to reach mid-criterion (first session where they achieved ≥50% correct). Rats that had previously been consuming alcohol required a greater number of sessions to reach mid-reversal criterion. (C) Performance in the first session of mid-reversal (first session after achieving ≥50% correct). There were no significant differences between groups during this session. (D) Number of trials required to reach criterion for reversal (≥80%). There were no significant between group differences in the number of trials required to reach this criterion. *Difference between groups, p <  0.05. Individual data points are shown, as well as mean ± SEM, group sizes: Maltodextrin n = 8, Alcohol, n = 10.
