Abstract
Rats were trained to drink from a water tube and were then shocked at the tube. ECS was delivered 5 sec after escape into another chamber. Controls received only training to drink, and ECS. All Ss were then tested one day later for readiness to drink, and there was little tendency to avoid in either condition. Half the FS-ECS and all the ECS-only animals were then given a mild reminder shock, and all animals were retested. Footshock-ECS reminded animals showed a greatly increased tendency to avoid the drinking box, while non-reminded FS-ECS and ECS-only controls showed very little avoidance.
