Abstract
Using a delayed conditioning procedure with dogs in a shuttlebox, the influence of 5 levels of shock intensity on acquisition of an avoidance habit was studied. Intensity had little effect on rate or pattern of response acquisition, but the percentage of animals learning increased with shock intensities up to 5 ma. Resistance to extinction was not affected.Keywords
