Amnesia from ECS: The effect of pairing ECS and footshock
Tóm tắt
An attempt was made to repeat the finding of Schneider & Sherman (1968) that apparent amnesia results from the pairing of footshock and ECS independently of passive-avoidance training. Pairing of footshock and ECS 5 h after training was not found to cause a retention deficit, whereas ECS immediately after training resulted in memory loss. This result shows that the “aftereffects” demonstrated by Schneider and Sherman are not general enough to account for all reported ECS-induced amnesia.
