Abstract
Table 1, compiled from our review of the immunoconditioning literature (Kusnecov, King, & Husband, 1989b), summarizes studies reported subsequent to Ader and Cohen’s (1975) important observation of behaviorally conditioned immunosuppression using a taste aversion procedure. The summary is further confined to studies that have used drugs or biological substances as the UCS. Even within this homogeneous operational set there is evident a variety of relationships between the behavioral conditioning paradigm, predominantly taste aversion conditioning (CTA), and the concomitant immunoconditioning.
