Abstract Methedrine was chronically administered twice a day to a group of cats over a period of eleven days. The stereotyped behavior elicited after injection became increasingly constricted over the eleven days. After Day 1 when the cats were placed in the observation cages just prior to injection, the stereotyped behavior would most often be initiated even before the injection, indicating a conditioning process. The behavior induced, as well as the parameters of reward, appears to fit well the accidental contingencies conditioning paradigm.
