Probabilities of an Aversive Event and Physiological Correlates of Stress
In Exp. I, 60 undergraduates were exposed to either a 10%, 50%, 90%, or 100% probability of shock after a 15-sec. anticipation period. The 90% condition produced greater changes in GSR than the 50% and 100% conditions and greater increases in heart rate than the 50% condition. In Exp. II, 60 undergraduates were exposed to either a 10%, 50%, 90%, or 99% probability of a potentially avoidable aversive event. The 90% condition produced greater chang…
Behavioral Contrast as a Function of Two Different Reinforcers
Behavioral contrast was investigated in 17 male rats in three separate experiments in which one component of a multiple schedule was associated with a sucrose solution of either 8%, 16%, or 32%, while the reinforcer in the other component was a standard 45 mg food pellet. All rats showed a higher rate of responding in the food than the sucrose component. Following extinction of the sucrose component, no contrast was obtained in any of the three e…
