Abstract
Food-deprived rats were exposed to various schedules of food delivery; water-deprived rats were exposed to various schedules of water delivery. Eating and drinking were measured over sessions and at points throughout sessions. The symmetries and asymmetries of food and water consumption were explored in terms of: (1) substitutability of food versus water, and of food and water on the one hand versus leisure on the other, (2) constraints imposed by various schedules of food and water, and (3) the tendency of rats to maximize utility within the imposed constraints.Entities:
