摘要
120 female albino rats were trained to avoid shock in an automated apparatus and then were given extinction trials with the shocker disconnected. Prior to extinction Ss were divided into 4 groups and given an intraperitoneal injection of distilled water or 1 of 3 doses of alcohol. In moderate doses, alcohol was found to increase the latency of the 1st response in extinction but also to increase the resistance to extinction of the avoidance response The group that received a high dose of alcohol was rendered physically incapable of responding.
