The effect of ECS on one-trial avoidance learning.
In a recent article, Coons and Miller (1960) raise the question as to whether previous studies which have purported to show that ECS induces a retrograde amnesia can be accounted for by ECS-induced fear of the goal. In the present study 5s were given a single ECS after making a response which was punished by shock to the feet. In a similar study, Pearlman, Sharpless, and Jarvik (1959) have show...
متن کاملDifferential assessment of retrograde amnesia produced by Hypothermia following one-trial avoidance conditioning
Two different measures of the retention of avoidance conditioning, frequently used in the investigation of retrograde anmesia (RA), were examined. Rats were given a single training trial on either passive or active avoidance in a conventional black-white discrimination apparatus and step•through latencies were recorded. Task sequence, footshock and hypothermia were experimentally varied across ...
متن کاملEnvironmental control of ECS-produced retrograde amnesia in goldfish.
Environmental control of ECS-produced retrograde amnesia in goldfish. PHYSIOL. BEHAV. The retrograde amnestic effect of ECS can be enhanced by exposing the goldfish to the intertrial environment for 25 mm just prior to administration of the ECS. As the interval between training and the ECS is increased, the amnesm produced by the environment-ECS interaction takes longer to develop. The environm...
متن کاملA confounding of conditioned suppression in passive avoidance: ECS effects
In the one-trial passive avoidance paradigm punishment of a highly probable response results in decreased rates and increased latencies of response. Presumably, Sa have learned to avoid the noxious stimulation by not responding. However, decreased response rates may be produced by an alternative procedure-conditioned suppression-where a freezing response conditioned to the situational cues comp...
متن کاملThe Effect of Ginkgo on Baclofen Induced Amnesia using Passive Avoidance Learning and Memory in Rats
Background & Objective: Ginkgo biloba is an herbal medicine that has a positive effect on improving memory. It prevents oxidative damage in mitochondria and cell death in a variety of Neuropathies. Besides, baclofen is prescribed for its analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects but has negative impact on memory. The objective of this study is to investigate the interaction of ginkgo with GABA b ...
