Conditioned Place Preference (CPP)

Conditioned Place Preference (CPP) is a psychological experiment used to study the motivations and preferences of animals and humans. It involves associating a specific environment or space with a rewarding experience, such as a pleasant substance or activity. For example, an animal may be placed in one room after receiving a drug that makes it feel good, while another room is associated with no reward. Over time, the animal may show a preference for the room linked to the reward, demonstrating how experiences can influence behavior and choices based on learned associations.
