Abstract

Many studies have reported inordinate difficulty in obtaining avoidance learning in discriminated bar-press and related situations, particularly with visual cues (illumination changes) serving as the CS. It is shown that avoidance learning can be substantially increased by dissociating the CS from the manipulandum, which usually occur in close physical proximity. In verification of earlier work, discontinuous shock was again shown to enhance avoidance learning markedly.
