ESCAPE BEHAVIOR UNDER CONTINUOUS REINFORCEMENT AS A FUNCTION OF AVERSIVE LIGHT INTENSITY

M KAPLAN et al. J Exp Anal Behav. 1965 Sep.

Abstract

In 11 male albino rats, lever-pressing responses, maintained under a CRF escape schedule with light as the aversive stimulus, were examined at each of five intensities, viz., 2.5, 18, 105, 190, and 386 ft-C. The function relating reciprocal of latency of the escape response to aversive light intensity passed through a maximum.
