Variations in the training parameters of an avoidance conditioning paradigm and their effects on the acquisition and performance

摘要: Albino rats were trained in a delayed discriminated conditional avoidance response (CAR) to study the possible effects of varying various training parameters,viz., CS-UCS interval, stimulus and strength inter-trial intersession intervals on acquisition performance CAR. The latency (RL) was related interval serial trend while there failures (ER%) at both extremes. efficiency CAR also varied according strength, improving up 2 mA intensities declining thereafter. deteriorated, as reflected increased magnitudes RL ER%, with increasing intertriai 4 min or more, trainee rats, but not significantly affected by unless it 7 days above. These findings are discussed light known principles classical conditioning well electrophysiological from instrumental animal studies.
