Book Description
For more than 28 years electroconvulsive shock (ECS) has been manipulated as an experimental tool, and an every increasing number of investigators have concluded that its main effect is to impair memory for recent events. There is suggestive evidence, however, that ECS may also produce conditioned fear reactions and competitive responses--especially when large numbers of schocks are administered. The present study assessed the effects of a single shock; given shortly after rats' learning of a first and (hopefully) interfering habit, the aim was to learn whether learning of a second habit would occur without proactive interference. A two by two factorial design employed eighty albino rat Ss in four conditions involving presence or absence of visual occulusion and adminitration of ECS or sham-shock. All Ss learned a single, 3-choice discrimination in a water-maze; half the Ss of each group learned a "left" choice the first day, a "right" choice the second; the other half: "right" first, "left" second. Because the two (shock and control) occluded groups learned at a disproportionate rate on the first day's measure, forty additional animals were run in the occluded conditions. It was found that occluded Ss erred much more frequently on all measures than nonoccluded--in spite of the fact that the maze was designed to minimize visual clues and that the supposedly "non-visual" albino rat served as the experimental subject. There was no reliable difference in error scores between shocked and non-shocked Ss. However, since proactive interference was not demonstrably produced in control groups, one may not conclude that ECS fails to inhibit proactive interference.
