Avoidance Learning in the Rat as a Function of Strain Differences
Wistar, Sprague-Dawley and Fischer rats were tested for general activity levels and for three different types of avoidance learning. No strain differences were observed for general activity or for the number of trials to learn a conditioned avoidance response (CAR) in the one-way shuttle box. The Fischer strain avoided shock more than the Wistar strain which in turn avoided shock more than the Sprague-Dawley strain during the acquisition of the C…
Effect of Platform Exposure Duration on Acquisition Performance in an Automated One-Way Avoidance Procedure
An automated one-way avoidance procedure was used to study the effect of platform exposure duration on the acquisition of an avoidance response. Rats were required to jump onto a raised platform at one end of the chamber either to avoid or escape a footshock preceded by a buzzer. The platform was made unavailable to the rat when the movable sliding wall closed and covered the platform. The duration of the interval the rat was allowed to remain on…
