Critical Flicker Frequency In A Harp Seal, Pagophilus Groenlandicus (Erxleben, 1777), Charles D. Bernholz Jan 1973

Critical Flicker Frequency In A Harp Seal, Pagophilus Groenlandicus (Erxleben, 1777), Charles D. Bernholz

University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries: Faculty Publications

Critical flicker frequency (CFF) in a free-swimming harp seal (Pagophilus groenlandicus) was investigated using behavioral techniques. The resulting CFF versus intensity contour indicates a definite rod-cone break, confirming a duplex photoreceptor population whose presence had not been observed in previous morphological reports.


Some Parameters Of The Second-Order Conditioning Of Fear In Rats, Alan Kamil Jan 1969

Some Parameters Of The Second-Order Conditioning Of Fear In Rats, Alan Kamil

Papers in Behavior in Biological Sciences

The effects of CS1 duration, partial reinforcement, and trace conditioning on second-order conditioned suppression were investigated, employing 64 rats as Ss. In Experiment 1, the clearest second-order conditioning was obtained when CS1 duration was the same during both the first- and the second-order conditioning phases of the experiment. In Experiment 2, somewhat better second-order conditioning was obtained when first-order conditioning had been under conditions of partial reinforcement, delay CS-US pairing. In neither experiment were CS1 suppression and CS2 suppression during second-order testing well correlated. This aspect of the results raised the question of the influence of nonclassical conditioning factors on …
