Abstract

This study ascertained why an earlier experiment found newly hatched chicks to be poor learners in a shock avoidance situation. A technological problem of passing an electric current through the naturally insulated feet of the chick was identified. This rectified, one-day-old chicks will demonstrate escape conditioning when the response terminates both CS and UCS. They will demonstrate both escape and avoidance conditioning when the response terminates only the UCS.
