摘要：

Injections of ACTH, under conditions that had previously been shown to facilitate acquisition of a shuttle-avoidance response, had no effect on the acquisition or reversal of a spatial discrimination. The failure of ACTH to affect performance in an appetitive situation argues against interpretations that ACTH facilitates acquisition and prolongs extinction of avoidance behavior by improving the efficiency of biochemical processes underlying memory. © 1969, Psychonomic Journals, Inc..
