Abstract
This study investigated the effects of shock produced threat and test defined anxiety on rote learning. It was found that persons who obtain high scores on the Taylor Scale of Manifest Anxiety were little affected by threat, but the performance of the low score persons was impaired by a non avoidance threat and improved by an avoidance threat.Keywords
