Abstract
When shocks were occasionally delivered regardless of S's behavior, the avoidance response rates of both amygdalectomized and control monkeys were markedly increased. Amygdalectomized Ss showed at least as great a facilitation as control Ss. The results of this test do not support the general notion that amygdalectomized Ss are relatively insensitive to the effects of aversive stimuli.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
