Question

The modern behavioral task, introduced by Dr. Larry D. Reid, named ______ is used to measure the rewarding aspects of drugs. The brain structures underlying the rewarding properties of drugs of abuse include the cortical-amygdala and orbital frontal cortical pathways and can be reliably demonstrated when animals are tested drug free using a combination of operant and classical conditioning learning tasks

Answer 1

Conditioned place preference

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditioned place preference is a form of conditioning used to gauge motivation effects of experiences or objects on the test subject.

For example if a person spends more time in the vicinity of a stimulus it indicates the person likes the stimulus.

This can be used to measure rewarding aspects of drugs.
