Abstract
This study investigated the effects of shock intensity upon the acquisition of a conditioned avoidance response [in rats]. Different groups received .20, .35, .50, .65, and .80 ma. of shock during training. The results indicated that as shock intensity increased, acquisition tended to be disrupted.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
