A review of those studies that have analyzed conditioning using haloperidol as a US reveals the existence of apparently contradictory results, since in some cases conditioned catalepsy responses have been observed [15,21], while in other cases a conditioned increase in locomotor activity has been reported [22,23]. To analyze in detail such discrepancies, we designed an experiment with the general aim of analyzing the associations established after repeated presentations of a novel context (the CS) and the effects of the dopaminergic antagonist haloperidol (the US). ...
