Abstract

Albino rats were trained in a conditioned avoidance response and tested 48 hr later for retention in a 2 × 2 factorial design of alcohol and no alcohol states. Group AA was trained and tested 1 hr after a stomach-tubing of an 11.88% aqueous solution of ethanol in an amount which was approximately 2% of the animal's bodyweight. Group OO was trained and tested without alcohol. (Group AO received alcohol in testing, but not in training.) Analysis of variance of the difference scores between training and testing percent avoidances showed an alcohol effect, as well as an interaction of the alcohol effects in the two situations. The results are discussed in relation to the central nervous effects of ethanol.
