Abstract

By plotting histograms of distribution of the frequency of intervals between pressing a lever (the active-avoidance method without discrimination control) it is possible to assess fine changes in the character of operant activity arising in rats through emotional stress. The design of a simple multichannel apparatus for inducing and studying active avoidance in several animals is described.
