Yep!
Wilcoxon, Dragoin, and Kral (1971) demonstrated potent taste aversions to
color in quail. If color and taste were paired, the aversion developed to
the taste and not the color. However, if the taste was presented in the
absence of color, the birds did develop some aversion to the taste.

Several years ago I supervised research by one of my undergraduate students
on "audioanalgesia," the use of music to reduce pain. Though a lot of our

Okay, I haven't bit on a RT in a while, but I can't resist this one.
Rene,
One other thing you might want to think about has to do with response rate.
We tried on-line evaluations on a small scale (at an already small college)
and found a significant difference in the response rate between on-line
evaluations and the standard in-class evaluations: on average, an 83

Take a look at Gilovich's "How We Know What Isn't So: The Fallability of
