Effects of Postnatal Handling of Rats on Emotional, HPA-Axis, and Prolactin Reactivity to Novelty and Conflict
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated whether or not postnatal handling (administered during the first 21 days of life) could enduringly improve coping behavior with novel and/or conflict situations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Memory for emotional words in bilinguals: Do words have the same emotional intensity in the first and in the second language?
TL;DR: This paper examined the influence of some variables that might modulate the effect of emotionality of second-language words on recall and found that neither language dominance nor the type of context, the age of second language acquisition, or the similarity between languages seem to have any effect on memory for emotional words in bilinguals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Behavior of the Roman-Verh high- and low- avoidance rat lines in anxiety tests: relationship with defecation and self-grooming

TL;DR: RLA/ Verh rats are more sensitive, as compared to their RHA/Verh counterparts, to the conflict involved in the shock-induced suppression of drinking paradigm, as well as in a hyponeophagia test, giving additional support to the contention that RLA/ verh rats present higher anxiety (emotionality) than their R HA/VerH counterparts.
Journal ArticleDOI
NIM: A Web-based Swiss army knife to select stimuli for psycholinguistic studies
TL;DR: NIM is Web-based software developed to help experimenters with some of the usual tasks carried out in psycholinguistic studies and enables the user to get the orthographic similarity between word pairs and to identify repeated items in lists of experimental stimuli.
Journal ArticleDOI
Postnatal handling reduces emotionality ratings and accelerates two-way active avoidance in female rats
J.F. Núñez,Pilar Ferré,Ernesto García,Rosa M. Escorihuela,Alberto Fernández-Teruel,Adolf Tobeña +5 more
TL;DR: Of special interest were the results of shuttlebox training: by shortening the conditioned stimulus and the intertrial interval (ITI) duration, avoidance acquisition was impaired as expected but the improving effects of PH were even more marked.
