Abstract
Effects of exposures to hyperbaric pressures of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon on CFF were investigated using the rhesus monkey. Nitrogen and argon at pressures of up to 10 atm produced no change in CFF, but exposure to equivalent partial pressures of oxygen at 2 atm absolute pressure resulted in a dose-related depression of CFF. Concomitant measures of response rate on a VR schedule of reinforcement revealed dose-related depressions in the presence of hyperbaric nitrogen and argon but not in the presence of oxygen. The results were interpreted in terms of existing theories of the behavioral effects of hyperbaric exposure and were shown to imply that a reevaluation of these views may be necessary.
