  • Shown are the F values, degrees of freedom, and significance levels of difference (p values) revealed by ANOVA of the dose-response functions (percentage of generalization to 0.4 mg/kg of nicotine and changes in rates of responding) for amphetamine. W and C represent water- and caffeine-drinking rats, respectively. W→C represents water-drinking rats that had tap water replaced with caffeine solution in this study. C→W represents caffeine-drinking rats that had caffeine solution replaced with tap water. See caption of Fig. 9 and Results for more details on this study. One-way repeated measures ANOVA was used to ascertain a statistically significant effect of drug treatment versus vehicle treatment (four upper rows). Two-way repeated measures ANOVA on one repeated factor was used to compare dose-response effects between groups (fifth and sixth rows). Two-way repeated measures ANOVA on two repeated factors was used to compare dose-response effects within the same group (before versus after; seventh and eighth rows). Where appropriate, ED50 values (with 95% CL) were calculated from the dose-response functions (Fig. 9). See footnote to Table 1 for additional details.
