Abstract
Rats learned to avoid a place where they were repeatedly given electroconvulsive shock treatments, but the learning was slow in comparison with that obtained with subconvulsive shock. Convulsive shock given 5 seconds after administration of subconvulsive shock retarded place-avoidance learning.Keywords
