Abstract
The effect of chlorpromazine (CPZ) on resistance of leverpressing to extinction was examined under varying levels of habit strength (H) and drive (D). Resistance was decreased by CPZ and increased by augmented H and D. The increments of resistance were essentially alike for CPZ and placebo groups, in accordance with theoretical expectation.
