| Abstract: | The present research examined the temporal distribution of responding in a lick suppression paradigm. In Experiment 1, rats were trained with either a 30- or a 120-s conditioned stimulus (CS), which was followed either by a footshock (unconditioned
stimulus US]) or nothing. Licking during the CS was suppressed only in the former condition. Suppression was more pronounced
early in the CS. In Experiment 2, rats were exposed to two 30-s or two 120-s CSs, with delivery of the shock being contingent on CS1 for half of the animals
and on CS2 for the other half. For both the paired and the unpaired conditions, suppression at the beginning of CS1 was observed
for all the groups. By discounting the possibility of generalization between CS1 and CS2, it appears that this initial suppression
was not a conditioned response to the CS, but an unconditioned one due to mere exposure to the shock US. |
