Abstract:Rats received escape training, with shock-presentation schedules of 50% or 100% and discrete CS-presentation schedules of 0%, 50% or 100%, followed by extinction with the discrete CS alone. Acquisition performance was directly related to shock percentage (p < .001). No reliable effect of CS was found. Resistance to extinction was inversely related to shock percentage (p < .05) and, during early extinction, was directly related to CS percentage (p < .02 on extinction Trial Block I).In the instrumental shock-es… Show more
