HEART RATE RESPONSE AND SUPPRESSION OF BAR PRESSING DURING CER AND PASSIVE AVOIDANCE
- Date Issued:
- 1977
- Summary:
- According to the cardiac-somatic hypothesis, heart rate changes are a function of changes in somatic activity. Conversely, the Independent Response Theory states that conditioning of heart rate and somatic activities are independent of each other. Using two groups, the present study examined these conflicting theories by measuring changes in heart rate and bar press suppression during 10 days of CER and passive avoidance conditioning. Results of this study indicate that heart rate responses and bar press suppression conditioned independently of each other, during both CS and post CS periods. Further, while bar pressing suppressed rapidly in both groups, heart rate responses were different between the two groups suggesting that although both procedures conditioned the same behavioral results, they elicit different autonomic responses.
