Place conditioning or place learning occurs in situations in which subjects acquire a conditioned response to a location


Conditioned place preference[]

Conditioned place preference (also known as environmental place conditioning) is a technique commonly used in animal studies to evaluate preferences for environmental stimuli that have been associated with a positive or negative reward. The technique is often used to determine the addiction potential of drugs.

The procedure involves several trials where the animal is presented with the positive stimulus (e.g., food or the effects of a drug of abuse) paired with placement in a distinct environment containing various cues (e.g., tactile, visual, and/or olfactory). When later tested in the normal state, approaches and the amount of time spent in the compartments previously associated with the positive stimulus serves as an indicator of preference and a measure of reward learning.
