Predictions about whether the salicin-habituation phenomenon should generalize to caffeine and/or aristolochic acid, according to four sensory coding frameworks
| Coding framework | Intact caterpillars | Lat-ablated caterpillars | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Caffeine | Aristo acid | Caffeine | Aristo acid | |
| Rate | − | − | − | − |
| Ensemble | + | − | + | + |
| Temporal | + | − | + | − |
| Spatiotemporal | − | − | + | + |
These predictions are based on analyses of the data in Figure 3 (see Results). We indicate that the salicin habituation should generalize to caffeine or aristolochic acid (Aristo acid) with a +, and that it should not generalize with a −. In addition, we show predictions for caterpillars possessing all taste sensilla (i.e., intact) and for those lacking their lateral styloconic sensilla (i.e., lat-ablated).
