Effects of shock intensity and duration on the frequency of biting attack by squirrel monkeys

Effects of shock intensity and duration on the frequency of biting attack by squirrel monkeys

R R Hutchinson et al. J Exp Anal Behav. 1968 Jan.

Abstract

Squirrel monkeys were periodically exposed to brief tail-shocks in the presence of a rubber tube connected to a pneumatic switch. Biting attack upon this tube was found to be a decreasing function of time since shock delivery and a direct function of shock intensity and duration. These results parallel findings in investigations employing more "naturalistic" social situations, indicating that attack against the inanimate and animate environment is a direct function of the intensity of an aversive stimulus. The results also demonstrate that frequency of biting attack as a datum is sensitive to several experimental manipulations.
