Abstract
Two experiments assessed effects of CS (conditioned stimulus) complexity and response difficulty on avoidance learning in control and bilateral spreading depression (BSD) rats. When 1, 2, or 3 elements acted as CS, BSD Ss were inferior to control Ss. For both groups, there was no difference between 2 or 3 element CSs, and both were superior to 1 element CS. When control and BSD Ss learned 1-way, 2-way, or shuttle avoidance, control Ss were superior to BSD Ss for all responses. Responses were significantly ordered for control Ss, 1-way being least difficult. There was no difference between 1-way and 2-way avoidance and both groups were superior to shuttle avoidance for BSD Ss.Keywords
