Abstract

Inverted, cataleptic goldfish showed an increase in ventilation rate over a 20 min period. The time-dependent increase in respiratory movement was initially suppressed when a 10 sec light or a 0.1 sec shock was presented at 1.5 min intervals. Contingent presentation of the light and shock, in a classical conditioning paradigm, resulted in reduced ventilation rates during the session. Physiological changes accompanying conditioning may thus alter the cataleptic state.
