Abstract
The increase in rate of responding seen at the onset of extinction was used as a measure of aggression. Rats learned to press a lever for water on a regular-reinforcement schedule. Half received injections of chlorpromazine, and then all Ss were given 6 min. of regular reinforcement followed by 3 min. of extinction. On the test trial the injected group made fewer responses than controls during both reinforcement and extinction, but they showed a relatively greater increase in rate of response after the onset of extinction.
