    The rats relied more on taste and smell than on vision and hearing to identify food.

    Explanation:

    John Garcia and Robert Koelling's taste-aversion study focused on the learned responses to eating any type of spoiled or toxic food. Garcia and Koelling studied this in rats in 1966 and saw that the rats were unable to associate a bright noisy stimulus with feeling ill because the rats relied more on taste and smell than on vision and hearing to identify food.
