Abstract

Three guinea pigs learned to postpone signalled electric shocks by pressing a bar. Although bar holding served to postpone shocks, the animals, unlike rats, did not bar-hold indefinitely. There was evidence of “avoidance decrement” in that shock densities increased with training, but this was not accompanied by a comparable decrease in response rate.
