Unwarranted Conclusion

Measurements have been made of the amount of dilute alcohol (15% v/v) consumed by adult male rats fed an adequate diet. When both water and alcohol were made available, most rats usually chose water. The relative proportions of the two liquids consumed appeared to be influenced by the positions of the food, water, and alcohol dispensers. Had these observations been less complete, the unwarranted conclusion might have been drawn that some of the rats (possibly for genetic reasons) displayed a marked preference for alcohol.

Rat Pup

Lactating, pregnant and nonpregnant adult female, and adult male rats were exposed to a rat pup, a food pellet, and a plastic toy for 3 min. on 7 consecutive days. Lactating females were the most active retrievers and showed a marked preference for the pup. All other groups showed retrieving behavior but there was no preference for the pup relative to the inanimate objects. It is concluded that “maternal” behavior must be demonstrably oriented toward the young of the species rather than the execution of behavior which is merely within the repertoire of the animal.
