Abstract
In 3 experiments, rats were trained to run down an alley for food; on later trials both electric shock and food were delivered at the goal. Asymptotic running speed after shock was imposed, was a function of the intensity of the shock, and was not clearly affected by the number of food-alone training trials that had been given. The effect of shock was always greatest on running speed near the goal, leading to gradients consistent with Miller's conflict theory.
