  • Title: Learned helplessness in the rat: time course, immunization, and reversibility.
    Author: Seligman ME, Rosellini RA, Kozak MJ.
    Journal: J Comp Physiol Psychol; 1975 Feb; 88(2):542-7. PubMed ID: 1150936.
    Abstract:
    Rats, like dogs, fail to escape following exposure to inescapable shock. This failure to escape does not dissipate in time; rats fail to escape 5 min, 1 hr., 4 hr., 24 hr., and 1 wk. after receiving inescapable shock. Rats that first learned to jump up to escape were not retarded later at bar pressing to escape following inescapable shock. Failure to escape can be broken up by forcibly exposing the rat to an escape contingency. Therefore, the effects of inescapable shock in the rat parallel learned helplessness effects in the dog.
