The Naturalistic Fallacy
The naturalistic fallacy occurs when a person reads a report of scientific research and concludes that the moral implication of the research was included in the article when, in fact, it was not. For example, the fallacy is committed when a study contains the conclusion that TV advertising increases preference for sugar-based foods, but the reader later believes that the study concluded that TV advertising should be controlled. Previous research …
Acquisition of an Avoidance Response in Rats During Conditioned Suppression
Wistar rats were trained to suppress completely a lever response for food reward during 60 sec of light (CS). After suppression was acquired, deflection of an omnidirectional bar would terminate the CS and prevent shock. An FR schedule to omnidirectional bar pressing to CS termination was acquired by three of nine experimental Ss. Control animals (N = 3), without conditioned suppression and avoidance training, never acquired an FR to terminate th…
Free Exploration Trends of Developing Albino Rats
Previous research found significantly more free exploration in immature and adult albino rats compared to adolescent rats. The present study indicated this to be true only in adult rats (N = 12). Housing procedures prior to testing may explain the lack of replication
Open-Field Activity of Albino Rats as a Function of Sex, Age, and Repeated Testing
Forced open-field exploration of Wistar rats was examined as influenced by age, sex, and repeated testing. The first phase of the study compared nine days of repeated testing among 28- and 98-day-old males and females. The older groups decreased in activity during the initial testing days. The younger groups increased above the older rats' activity levels during the last days of testing. Females generally had higher activity than males. The young…
