Abstract
In a factorial study albino rats were trained to approach and consume food while receiving either mild shock, mild airblast, or no aversive stimulus and were later tested with either intense shock or airblast. Animals receiving initial training with mild punishment were less affected by subsequent intense aversive stimulation. This decrease in responsiveness to punishment included novel aversive stimuli as well.
