Abstract

Male and female rats were trained on a passive avoidance task that involved inhibition of an approach response rewarded by food. Rats of both sexes rapidly suppressed responding when punishment was initiated, but females resumed approach responding sooner than did males on nonshocked food-rewarded retention tests. © 1973, The Psychonomic Society, Inc..
