A study of disinhibition in the white rat.

Abstract

Twenty-four 100-day, [male] albino rats were used. The apparatus employed was the lever-pressing box as used by Heron and Skinner. The authors concluded that disinhibition can be produced in the lever-pushing situation if the proper stimulus is given, and that there is no demonstrable relationship between disinhibition in the lever-pushing situation and maze learning.
