Abstract: | <p> A response conditioned to a specific stimulus will generalize to similar stimuli. Various reports have indicated that the slope of the gradient of generalization changes over a period of time. The experiments reported here investigated the generalization of an emotional response, originally conditioned to an 80 db. white noise to a 60 db. white noise. In different groups the tests for generalization were begun immediately after conditioning or after a 4 day waiting period. In further groups the animals' time during the delay period was variously taken up with bar pressing sessions; new conditioning trials with a light CS; unsignalled shock presentations, or they merely stayed in their home cages.</p> |
