Abstract
Sodium pentobarbital administered intravenously after acquisition in a one-trial passive avoidance task results in state dependent (drug dissociated) learning in male albino rats. Findings have methodological implications for drug-based research and theoretical implications for drug discrimination studies. Predictions based on a stimulus generalization hypothesis are not supported, whereas those based on an information storage hypothesis are supported.Keywords
