Abstract
Holtzman and Sasco rats given unsignaled shock exposure acquired a subsequent one-way avoidance response more readily than nonpreshocked rats of the same strains. In addition, the more active Holtzman rats required fewer trials to reach the avoidance criterion and were more resistant to extinction than Sasco rats. Movement ratings taken during intershock intervals in pretraining were found to be good predictors of subsequent avoidance performance. Results were taken to indicate that response repertoire changes during prior shock exposure influence subsequent one-way avoidance learning.
