Rats who were given lithium chloride (LiCl) to induce vomiting after tasting almond or peppermint developed an aversion to those flavors. Interestingly, rats given almond and then peppermint before LiCI developed an aversion to almond, but not peppermint.

Contextual control of appetitive conditioning: influence of a contextual stimulous generated by a partial reinforcement procedure

Article Abstract:

32 female rats were tested to see how a conditioned response was retained even if only if partial stimulus was continued. Some rats were trained to respond to light, some to sound. Both groups retained strong conditioned responses under partial stimulus.

The role of nonreinforcement in the learning of honeybees

Article Abstract:

Experiments show that honeybees trained to a conditioned response to a location or color stimuli with a sucrose solution do not lose that response when the sucrose reward is removed. Honeybees showed less excitement, but still responded to the stimuli.
