Journal ArticleDOI
Drug effects and avoidance-extinction in rats: A test of the drug novelty hypothesis using ethanol
TL;DR: The “drug novelty hypothesis” was tested directly by giving rats experience with intraperitoneal injections of ethanol on days prior to avoidance training to eliminate the prolonged extinction of avoidance responding observed after a single exposure to ethanol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rapid extinction of a conditioned taste aversion following unreinforced intraperitoneal injection of the fluid CS.
TL;DR: The group injected with the concentrated form of the saccharin-cyclamate solution showed subsequent rapid extinction of the conditioned taste aversion, and an analogy was made to the technique of flooding used to hasten extinction of active, shock-motivated avoidance behavior.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extinction of avoidance in rats: the effects of chlorpromazine and methylphenidate administered in conjunction with flooding response (prevention).
TL;DR: The results suggest that tranquilizers administered in conjunction with flooding can diminish the stressfulness of the procedure without adversely affecting its efficacy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extinction of avoidance behavior: Comparison of various flooding procedures in rats
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared three different techniques of flooding, i.e., reducing the intertrial interval to zero (prolonging the feared situation), response blocking (prevention) and response avoidance (preventing the extinction).
Journal ArticleDOI
Resistance to extinction of an avoidance response in rats following the administration of chlordiazepoxide (Librium) or diazepam (Valium).
TL;DR: The results indicate that the novelty hypothesis as originally stated by Amit and Baum cannot be supported because experience with the drugs prior to avoidance training did not attenuate the drug effect on avoidance.
