Abstract
64 albino rats received contiguous administrations of “major” and “minor” tranquilizing drugs and shock traumatization in infancy. The performance measures were avoidance conditioning and competition testing. The results indicate that drug administrations in infancy were effective in mitigating the effects of shock traumatization; major tranquilizing drugs were more effective than minor tranquilizing drugs under the conditions of this study. The findings were related to the state-dependent or dissociated learning phenomenon.Keywords
