McGuire, T. Tully, A. Gelperin] Discriminative classical conditioning of an olfactory avoidance response was demonstrated in the blowfly, Phormia regina.Learning indices were calculated as the fraction of flies avoiding the CS+ (conditioned stimulus paired with electric shock reinforcement) minus the fraction of flies avoiding the CS-(conditioned stimulus not paired with electric shock), averaged over two different groups of flies, in which reciprocal odors were used as the CS+. Avoidance responses to both odors presented simultaneously at a T-maze choice point yielded mean learning indices of zero for naive flies or pseudoconditioned (shock alone) or sensitized (odors alone) controls. In contrast, pairing an odor with electric shock produced a mean learning index significantly greater than zero. These results are similar to those reported for Drosophila melanogaster.Blow flies, however, showed much lower levels of associative learning than fruit flies.
