there was a modest but significant positive correlation between sandpaper preference scores at test (%) and frequency of wall-climbing during the second-order conditioning phase (r = 0.28, p = 0.015). Wall-climbing also correlated significantly with head-shaking and locomotion scores (r’s = 0.48 and 0.40, respectively; both ps < 0.001). Overall correlation scores can be examined in Table 2. An individual analysis for each treatment group revealed that the association between sandpaper preference and wall-climbing was largely driven by those animals assigned to the late pairing condition. Specifically, the correlation achieved significance in the latter group (r = 0 .48, p < 0.05) but not in the UP or EP groups (r’s = 0.12 and 0.15, respectively, both ps > .30). Within the PL condition, ethanol dosage seemed to affect the magnitude of the association, with animals given 0.5 g/kg achieving an even greater correlation (r = 0.67, p < 0.05).
