Table 2.

Statistical determination of group preferences for each stimulus pair, as indicated by percentage of total licks (paired t-tests) and by percentage of total testing duration (repeated measures ANOVA, with post-hoc least squared differences, or LSD, test).

Temperature Pair (°C)	Licks Hot - Cold t statistics	Test Time Hot, Cold, Off F statistics	LSD Test	df
−4 & 48	−2.975*	142.073**	H=C<Off	13
10 & 48	−3.453*	147.75**	H<C <Off	53
18 & 48	−4.096*	37.86**	H<C <Off	8
24 & 48	−1.425	6.034*	H=C=Off (H<Off)	8
10 & 45	6.17**	52.335**	Off>H>C	13
18 & 45	21.352**	100.667**	Off>H>C	8
24 & 45	3.049*	5.075*	Off=H>C	11

Abbreviations: H = hot stimulus, C = cold stimulus, df = degrees of freedom.
