Day 4 food task behavioral results. For rats that went through the choice test on the final day of experimentation, we found that (a) while observers and demonstrators did not differ significantly from each other in the percent of diet Cin (the demonstrated flavor) eaten, they did both show a significant preference for the diet. However, (b) neither group spent significantly more time interacting with the food cup containing diet Cin. Examining the total amount eaten during the final food task for all rats we predictably found that (c) females overall ate significantly less than males. (d) Experimental condition has no overall effect on the total amount eaten. All graphed values are the mean ± SEM. #p < 0.1, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01.
