Acoustical determinants of the “neurotic pattern” in rats

摘要: The experiments reported in the present paper show that peculiar behavior called “neurotic pattern” by Maier is dependent upon intensity and frequency of auditory stimulation. frequencies most effective producing seizures (when controlled) are unquestionably supersonic. Experiments with a Galton whistle pure-tone oscillator indicate they higher than 21,000 cycles per second. This fact requires findings other workers respect to importance “conflict” must either be reinterpreted or repeated better control acoustic conditions has heretofore been exercised.
