Abstract
The findings of the present report demonstrate that the intensity of shock used as the US is an important parameter in the establishment of a conditioned-heart-rate response in which the subject is unaware of the CS-US connection. It was also found that there is a difference in the conditioned and generalized responses of subjects who verbally reported awareness of the CS-US relationship as contrasted with those who were unaware.Keywords
