Analysis of warm-up effects during avoidance in the Mongolian gerbil
Mongolian gerbils were trained under unsignaled free-operant avoidance until performance stabilized. They showed slight warm-up effects, receiving approximately 40% of the total session shocks in the initial one-third of the session. Leverpressing was then studied during l-h extinction periods as a function of the duration of an avoidance period which immediately preceded it. Responding during ...
متن کاملPlacental Development in the Mongolian Gerbil
Early gerbil development was studied from days 4 through 12 of gestation. Implantation occurs on day 8 in a shallow antimesometrial implantation crypt. The proamniotic cavity forms from an invagination of basal trophoblast and a folding together of the rim of the cup thus produced. The approximation of this rim gives rise to the ectoplacental cone. The further development and expansion of the e...
متن کاملPersonality Correlates of Self-Punitive Behavior
The purpose of this investigation was to identify individual difference variables that were predictive of self-punitive behavior in a laboratory task. Female college students completed four personality inventories and then were given regularextinction (RE) or punished-extinction (PE) conditions in a self-punitive behavior paradigm. Self-punitive behavior was obtained; the PE subjects were more ...
متن کاملAssessing Mongolian gerbil emotional behavior: effects of two shock intensities and response-independent shocks during an extended inhibitory-avoidance task
Despite step-down inhibitory avoidance procedures that have been widely implemented in rats and mice to study learning and emotion phenomena, performance of other species in these tasks has received less attention. The case of the Mongolian gerbil is of relevance considering the discrepancies in the parameters of the step-down protocols implemented, especially the wide range of foot-shock inten...
متن کاملThe effects of caffeine on operant behavior in the Mongolian gerbil
Caffeine 2 The present study looks at the effects of stomach loads of caffeine on operant behavior in Mongolian gerbils (Meriones unguiculatus). Four male and four female gerbils were trained to a fixed interval schedule of 30 seconds with Nayes 4.5 mg rodent pellets used for reinforcement. A data collection and analysis package for Apple computers was used to measure the post-reinforcement res...
