Successive bouts were subjected to a conditional probability analysis showing that rats alternate more frequently between eating and drinking than between any other combination of events. The latencies between successive eating and drinking bouts showed that drinking bouts occurred closer in time to the preceding than to the subsequent eating bout. Given that rats alternate between eating and drinking under free access to food and water it is possible that the Scheinterminttent food delivery and food deprivationDownloads
