  • Effects of Amobarbital, Chlordiazepoxide, and Chlorpromazine Administered following Shock Trauma

    Open AccessDennis K Kamano, Louis K MartinARTICLEPsychological Reports1967

    Amobarbiral (30 mg/kg), Chlordiazepoxide (30 mg/kg), and Chlorpromazine (4 mg/kg) had no evident retroactive effects in the present study. These drugs administered immediately following shock trauma did not predispose Ss to react less fearfully on a later encounter with the same situation

  • Multiple Factors Affecting Volitional Consumption of Alcohol in the Abrams Wistar Rat

    Barbara J Powell, Dennis K Kamano et al.ARTICLEQuarterly Journal of Studies on…1966

    Alcohol preference of rats was studied using a multiple-factor design. Fifty-six male and female Wistar albino rats, divided into experimental and control groups, were used. The ratio of the intake of a 10% solution of ethanol to total fluid was measured in the two groups under five experimental conditions: initial preference (a 14-day free-choice situation), stress (an 8 day freechoice situation during which the experimental rats were removed fr…

  • Effect of Amobarbital Administered at Various Stages of Avoidance Response Acquisition

    Open AccessLouis K Martin, Barbara J Powell et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1966

    In order to study the effects of amobarbital at various stages during avoidance acquisition, rats were injected with 20 mg/kg of the drug or with a placebo at the beginning of training or after four or eight days of training. As in previous studies, amobarbital facilitated CAR emission when given from the beginning of training. However, injections of the same drug at the same dosage level had no demonstrable effect on CAR emission after either fo…

  • CS Intensity, Amobarbital Sodium and the Conditioned Avoidance Response

    Open AccessBarbara J Powell, Michael E Ogle et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1966

    In studying the relationship between level of CS intensity (light) and drug condition (amobarbital sodium) in the acquisition of the conditioned avoidance response of the white rat in a jump-box task, data showed that both variables influenced avoidance performance. Although the over-all performance of drugged Ss was better than that of those given a placebo, primary differences occurred at 50,000 and 800,000 peak candles of CS intensity; perform…

  • Effects of Amobarbital Sodium and Meprobamate on Acquisition of Conditioned Avoidance

    Open AccessBarbara J Powell, Louis K Martin et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1965

    The purpose of these experiments was to study the effects of two “fear-reducing” drugs, amobarbital sodium and meprobamate, on the acquisition of a conditioned avoidance response in albino rats, and how this response is related to general activity level and freezing behavior. Both drugs facilitated acquisition of the avoidance response and increased activity level as measured by the number of spontaneous inter-trial hurdle crossings. Thus, these …
