Resumo
An avoidance technique was used in which rats had two levers available, with independent shock schedules associated with each. Behavioral patterns in initial conditioning and in the maintenance of the responses with various response‐shock intervals led to the suggestion that reduction of shock density be considered an important variable in avoidance behavior.
