Abstract
Experiments were performed in which the typical procedure for obtaining discriminated avoidance behavior with rats in a lever-pressing apparatus was compared with a new procedure which allowed only avoidance but not escape from the shock. When either escape or avoidance is possible, the rats make a majority of escape responses, but where escape is impossible avoidance behavior is rapidly established.Keywords
