Monamines as Mediators of Avoidance-Escape Behavior
A series of three experiments were carried out to test the hypothesis ("motor activation deficit" hypothesis) that the avoidance-escape deficits observed following certain highly stressful conditions result from changes in activity of noradrenergic (or other monominergic) neural systems. These studies indicate that: (1) Depletion of monamines by a single injection of tetrabenazine produces an active avoidance-escape deficit when the avoidance-esc…
Effects of Chronic Exposure to Stressors on Avoidance-Escape Behavior and on Brain Norepinephrine
A single exposure to a severe stressor (either cold swim or inescapable shock) impairs subsequent performance in a shuttle avoidance-escape task (1), a deficit attributed to reduction in brain noradrenergic activity produced by these stressors. In the present paper, two experiments are described which examine how repeated exposure to such stressors affects (a) shuttle avoidance-escape performance (Experiment 1), and (b) aspects of brain norepinep…
Instrumental Learning of Gastric Vascular Tonicity Responses
Male rats with a chronically implanted device that allowed photoelectric plethysmographic measures to be made of the stomach wall were trained while paralyzed with d-tubocurarine and being artificially respirated. One group was reinforced by avoidance of and/or escape from electric shocks to the tail, whenever increases in the transmission of light through the stomach wall occurred during a CS; another group was reinforced for decreases. Reliable…
Instrumental Learning of Systolic Blood Pressure Responses by Curarized Rats: Dissociation of Cardiac and Vascular Changes
Rats with skeletal muscles paralyzed by curare to rule out the effect of muscular activity were given artificial respiration and were rewarded by escape and/or avoidance of mild electric shock for either increasing or decreasing their systolic blood pressure. A chronic catheter was implanted within the abdominal aorta for measurement of same. Each trial was signaled by the onset of a light and tone; each experimental rat was yoked to a control ra…

Analytical studies of drive and reward

Personality and Psychotherapy
Theories of learning
Reviews the book Theories of Learning, by Ernest R. Hilgard (see record 2005-05010-000). This is a “middle” book. It has the advantages and disadvantages of being in between. It is half way between the undergraduate and graduate level. Thus it can be used profitably at either level, but must be supplemented at each. Although the writing is clear and simple, only the most advanced undergraduates will have enough background to achieve good understa…

Theory and experiment relating psychoanalytic displacement to stimulus-response generalization
Frustration and aggression.
The authors postulate that aggression is always a consequence of frustration. They indicate manifestations of this sequence in almost every field of human behavior and interpret aggression as assuming many forms and as being affected by other psychological factors.
