Re: mice degens?
Theres alot of reasons why they did this. I don't think "gambling" is the reason, they are probably just bright enough to understand that one button does the same thing every time, and the other does different things some of the time.
They aren't bright enough (especially on dope for crying out loud!) to ever figure out that the blue button doesn't have an option C, so they just kept pressing the button waiting for when it would happen.

Re: mice degens?
Skinner's pigeon experiment has been seen as an indicator why gambling has such an appeal to human beings. A slightly related sidenote was told to us on a lecture on stress research. Cats in electroshock experiments grew fond of their ability to avoid electroshock. At first the experiments were your typical animal protectionist nightmare with scared cats, but after a while the researchers noted that the cats started to purr and seemingly enjoy themselves when they had mastered the techniques needed to avoid the electroshock. Being a cat person I liked the end of that story atleast.
