Abstract
In Experiment 1, rats were fed in a compartment in which they had been shocked by being placed directly over a food dish. In Experiment 2, food was used to provide an incentive for Ss [subjects] to enter the fear compartment. The results indicated that the major effect of food on fear is not one of counterconditioning, but rather one of decreasing or increasing the amount of exposure to the fear-producing situation.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
