Abstract
As a test of the possibility that the use of ear-clip administration of ECS current impaired the hearing of animals previously given emotional conditioning to an auditory stimulus, rats were conditioned to a blinking light in association with floor grid shock. They were then given 21 ECS's and re-tested with the blinking light, showing the same elimination of conditioned fear responses as in the previously reported "auditory" groups.
