When data across all adult groups were examined, a significant negative correlation was found between sandpaper preference and wall-climbing scores (r = - 0.34, p < 0.01, see Table 2). A negative and significant correlation comprising these variables was also observed in the PL condition (r = - 0.54, p < 0.05). No significant correlations were detected when focusing on the remaining conditioning groups. Ethanol dosage did not significantly affect the magnitude or direction of the correlations.
