Further Comments on Deleterious Behavioral and Physiological Effects of Sound
The use of ultrasonic sound as a means of controlling rat populations is questioned. The following points are discussed: (1) the processes of refraction and decreased audiogenic seizure susceptibility with repeated exposure to sound; (2) the genetic variability of the rat with respect to auditory behaviors; (3) the behavioral and physiological responses of organisms other than the rat; and (4) the behavioral responses of rats to ultrasonic sound …
High-Intensity Ultrasonic Sound
The suggestion by Pinel (1972) that ultrasonic sound might serve as a rat control method by its properties as an aversive and seizure-producing stimulus is evaluated in light of data on the complexity of audiogenic seizures and selective breeding for noise escape behavior in rats. It is proposed that the rat may have sufficient genetic diversity to result in a population of rats which neither escape from high-intensity sounds nor die as a result …
Selected Schedules of Reinforcement in the Mongolian Gerbil
Gerbils acquired bar-pressing when water or rat Noyes pellets were contingent. Responding was analyzed under intermittent, time-contingent schedules of reinforcement—FI, VI, and DRL—as well as a variation of a mixed FR schedule. Gerbils responded well above operant level for prolonged periods of time under all schedules examined. Gerbils bar-pressed at 80 to 90% ad lib. body weight for conventional rewards if operant sessions were under 30 min. A…
