Garcia and Koelling's findings challenged the previously accepted principle that the US must immediately follow the CS for conditioning to occur, as they found that rats could develop taste aversions even if the US (nausea) was delayed by several hours after the CS (taste). The other options are not directly related to Garcia and Koelling's findings on taste aversion.
