Contributions of Animal Studies of Response Prevention (Flooding) to Human Exposure Therapy
The behavioral technique of response prevention (flooding, exposure therapy, implosive therapy) is reviewed. Contributions of animal studies of avoidance-extinction to therapy of human phobic disorders are discussed. These include the delineation of the importance of treatment duration and the facilitative effects of distraction during treatment. Animal studies showing certain pharmaceutical and hormonal agents increase treatment efficiency are r…
Description of Spontaneous Behavior of Individual Rats Undergoing Avoidance-Response-Prevention (Flooding)
Three rats were systematically observed in an avoidance apparatus prior to avoidance acquisition, during response prevention (flooding) following acquisition, and again following extinction. The apparatus was a modified, automated ledge box (“Baum box”) which yields one-way active avoidance. Up to seven different spontaneous behaviors were recorded. Observations were related to various analyses of the effects of response prevention, stressing the…
Anorexia Treatment Based on Extinction of a Taste Aversion
The speculative theorizing of Bernstein and Borson, that anorexia in man can be due to conditioned taste aversions, is reviewed. Animal studies demonstrating hastened extinction of taste aversions by behavioral procedures are discussed, suggesting an analogous treatment in man
Rewarding vs Aversive Intracranial Stimulation Administered during Flooding (Response Prevention) in Rats
3 groups of hooded rats were given daily cycles of avoidance-training-flooding-extinction for 4 consecutive days. Flooding or response prevention consisted of thwarting the learned avoidance response while forcing S to remain in the feared situation. On some days, one group received pulsing rewarding brain stimulation during flooding, while a second group received aversive intracranial stimulation (ICS). A third group also had implanted electrode…
Flooding or Response Prevention or Detainment or Forced Reality-Testing
The extinction of avoidance behavior has received widespread attention, both clinical and experimental. Techniques which hasten the cessation of avoidance responding in animals during extinction have been developed, and clinical analogues have been employed. One tcchnique which has been thoroughly investigated is known as (or or or reality-testing; see Baum, 1970). In this note I discuss the various labels attached to or used to describe this tec…
Extinction of an Avoidance Response in Rats via Response Prevention (Flooding)
In a 2 × 2 factorial design, 80 rats wete trained to avoid either 0.5 or 1.3 mA. shock in an automated apparatus. Following acquisition, the rats were extinguished with or without response prevention (second factor). The results confirmed that response prevention is effective in hastening the extinction of an avoidance response. Following extinction, the application of a loud buzzer induced a recovery-from-extinction of the response in all groups…

Effect of Alcohol on the Acquisition and Resistance-To-Extinction of Avoidance Responses in Rats
Two experiments were conducted to explore the effects of alcohol on avoidance behavior in rats. In Exp. I, the effect of alcohol on the acquisition of an avoidance response was examined in a 2 × 4 factorial design. Groups of rats were trained to avoid in one of two simple avoidance tasks following the administration of one of four doses of alcohol. Alcohol significantly affected the latency of the first escape trial but did not significantly infl…
Comparison of Two Techniques for Hastening Extinction of Avoidance-Responding in Rats
Response prevention (forced detention of the animal in the situation which it fears) and the shortening of the intertrial interval (massing of trials) are two techniques for hastening the extinction of avoidance responding in rats. Experiments wert conducted to compare the two techniques on two types of avoidance behavior: (1) a response which had been trained to a criterion of 10 consecutive avoidances (Exp. 1) and (2) a response which had been …
Rapid Extinction of an Avoidance Response following a Period of Response Prevention in the Avoidance Apparatus
Thirty-three rats were trained to avoid shock in a novel avoidance apparatus that required S to climb or jump onto a ledge in order to avoid. When Ss had achieved a learning criterion, they were assigned to one of three groups, each of which received a different experimental treatment prior to extinction training. Group I, the normal-control group, received no interruption between acquisition and extinction. Group II, the time-control group, spen…
An Automated Apparatus for the Avoidance Training of Rats
An apparatus and procedure for the avoidance training of rats is described. 22 rats were trained in the apparatus, and the rapidity of learning was contrasted with that of previously-used automated apparatuses. The new technique prevented many major problems associated with traditional avoidance procedures, both automated and manual
