Abstract
Seven days after receiving unavoidable shock, rats were placed in the shock chamber, or in an adjacent chamber. Free access between the chambers was permitted, and latency to cross was measured. Latency to cross into the shocked chamber was an increasing function of shock intensity, while latency to escape the shock chamber was not related to the intensity of prior shock. The results were interpreted as supporting the hypothesis that situations associated with shock produce competing tendencies in the rat to escape and to remain immobile.
