Abstract
Two experiments examined the rate of acquisition of a conditioned avoidance response in goldfish ( Carassius auratus ) over several days of training (3), temperatures (12.8–24.9°C), and intertrial interval conditions (10–60 sec). In the first experiment ( n = 543) avoidance rate was found to vary positively with temperature and days of training, but not with intertrial interval. But general activity rate also was related to the same variables. Experiment 2 ( n = 270) shows that the acquisition of the conditioned avoidance response in the first experiment cannot be interpreted as a pseudoconditioning effect.
