Description
Twenty-four rats were trained to avoid shock in a shuttlebox,
receiving feedback for a correct response. During extinction,
matched pairs were tested under response contingent or
response independent feedback, with either shock or no shock. The combination of response contingent feedback and no shock
led to the greatest resistance to extinction. No other significant
differences were found. The results were used to support
the discrimination hypothesis, and concurred with other studies
with regard to: (1) the functional similarity of feedback and
CS termination in the acquisition and maintenance of avoidance,
and (2) the importance of the interaction of the response contingency
with the avoidance contingency, in determining the
effects on avoidance responding.
