Abstract
In laboratory rats, low levels of shock elicit freezing, while high levels of shock elicit flight. Both behaviors have been termed species-specific defense reactions (SSDRs). If the punished response is relatively weak to begin with, low to medium levels of shock will be effective in suppressing this response via the SSDR of freezing. Changes in the strength of SSDRs will be reflected by changes in passive avoidance performance.
