Abstract

Two strains of male rats, selectively outbred for differences in ability to learn a conditioned avoidance task, were compared for degrees of post-training stress in terms of activity (rearing) suppression. Further, the effect of the tranquilizing drug methylpentynol carbamate upon this suppression of activity in the strains was examined. It was found that although activity was suppressed by experience in the learning situation, there was no difference between the strains in respect of the amount of this suppression. The drug in the dosage employed appeared to have no effect either upon activity or its suppression.
