Abstract
3 groups of 12 rats were given various amounts of fear conditioning previous to being restrained for 48 hr during which the CS for fear were periodically presented. The US was never presented during restraint. Those Ss receiving the greatest number of fear conditioning trials previous to being restrained ulcerated at a significantly higher rate than those Ss receiving no fear conditioning or a smaller number of fear conditioning trials. Ulceration rate is discussed as a possible measure of strength and duration of fear.Keywords
