Additional Notes on Gastrointestinal Activity during Avoidance Behavior

Abstract

Gastrointestinal activity in humans during avoidance responding was compared with that under conditions of passive reception of mild stimulation, as well as resting level. Results were contradictory to findings of Davis and Berry (1963) but tended to confirm those of Sternbach (1962) as well as to support Brady's (1963) work with peptic ulcer development in “Executive” monkeys.
