Abstract
In 11 male albino rats, lever‐pressing responses, maintained under a CRF escape schedule with light as the aversive stimulus, were examined at each of five intensities, viz., 2.5, 18, 105, 190, and 386 ft‐C. The function relating reciprocal of latency of the escape response to aversive light intensity passed through a maximum.Keywords
