Abstract
Rats were subjected to daily handling or electric shock stimulation or were unmanipulated throughout the preweaning period. Following weaning 1/2 of each group was housed individually and 1/2 with other animals. At maturity Ss were tested for emotionality, avoidance learning, and susceptibility to immobilization produced gastric erosions. Significant Early Experience X Housing effects were commonly observed, the difference between the various early experience groups being most pronounced among the individually housed populations; depending upon the dependent measurements involved and conditions of housing, the handled and shocked Ss differed from each other.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
