Influence d'une stimulation electrique sur le niveau d'activation et la performance.

Abstract: 1943) veut que l'intensite du comportement depende conjointement des facteurs dliabitude (H) et de tendance generate (D). Les modifications de certaines conditions antec^dentes, telles la prolongation d'une privation d'eau ou de nourriture et 1'accroissement d'une stimulation, agiraient directement sur le niveau de tendance dont l'elevation se manif esterait par l'intensification de l'activite specifique a la situation dans laquelle se trouve place l'organisme en cause. Pourtant, les resultats de plusieurs exp… Show more

“…There is a great need of experiments on appetitive behavior using other techniques in order to provide more information on physiological measures of all types. It must be said, nevertheless, that similar HR variations have since been observed in other situations (Ducharme & Belanger, 1961) and that there are some indications that it constitutes a better reflection of the hypothetical central state of the organism than antecedent conditions or performance. Moreover, it offers the additional advantage of possible comparison with these indirect definitions of drive.…”

“…Facilitative effects of shock, in addition to being less frequently reported, always seem to be an inverted "U" function of the amount of shock. Ducharme and Belanger (1961), for example, studied the effect of shock on lever-pressing rate. They shocked rats for 5 sec at 0.00, 0.08, 0.16, 0.24, 0.32, 0.40, and 0.60 ma immediately before placing them in the experimental box.…”

“…Facilitative effects of electric shock on consummatory behavior have been shown by several investigators (Amsel, 1950;Amsel and Maltzman, 1950;Ullman, 1951;Ducharme and Belanger, 1961;Sterritt, 1962Sterritt, , 1965Sterritt and Shemberg, 1963;andStrongman, 1965, 1967). Such effects are usually confined to situations where the animal was shocked outside the experimental box or by using very mild shock.…”

“…Cette acceleration est cependant relativement faible et ne saurait d'aucune facon expliquer les frequences tres elevees observees sous les conditions experimentales rapportees plus haut. D'ailleurs, une de nos experiences (Ducharme et Belanger, 1961) indique clairement que la deshydratation n'est responsable ni de la chute de l'activite instrumentale, ni de la hausse parallele de la frequence cardiaque. On pent, en effet, provoquer une elevation du niveau d'activation en exposant les animaux a des chocs electriques d'intensite de plus en plus forte, avant de les deposer dans la boite ou ils auront a presser sur un levier pour obtenir de l'eau.…”
