Abstract
Rats learned to avoid the illuminated wall of a conditioning box when illumination of the wall by a bar press was followed by foot shock as S retrieved the food pellet. Extending the duration of the illumination beyond shock onset failed to produce greater avoidance, in contrast to the results of Hudson (1950).
