Abstract
Mice preexposed to nonresponse-contingent shock offset or nonresponse-contingent food delivery performed more poorly in a water-escape task than groups receiving no preexposures or preexposure to controllable shock or controllable food. It was concluded that US preexposure procedures produce a very broad generalization of effects. These results are discussed in relation to similar findings in the literature.
