Abstract
Five experiments were done on the effects of low frequency whole body vibration on rats. In Experiment I, it was found that vibration mediated escape learning throughout a 50-day period. Predictable vibration (Experiment II) and incremental training (Experiment III) were observed to produce less escape responding than random unpredictable vibration. In Experiments IV and V, taste conditioning was studied using vibration as an US. It was concluded that vibration is an aversive stimulus like shock which mediates escape conditioning but not taste conditioning.
