The Effects of Airblast on Discriminated Avoidance Behavior in Rhesus Monkeys

The Effects of Airblast on Discriminated Avoidance Behavior in Rhesus Monkeys

Eighteen monkeys, trained to perform auditory and visual discrimination avoidance tasks, were exposed to reflected shock-tube airblast of 30-, 40-, or 50-p.s.i. Results indicated that: (1) immediate but transient performance decrement occurred; (2) latency was more affected than accuracy, particular...

Zusammenfassung:Eighteen monkeys, trained to perform auditory and visual discrimination avoidance tasks, were exposed to reflected shock-tube airblast of 30-, 40-, or 50-p.s.i. Results indicated that: (1) immediate but transient performance decrement occurred; (2) latency was more affected than accuracy, particularly for the 50-p.s.i. group; (3) performance decrement was mild and recovery time brief (usually under 4 hours) despite frank physical injuries; and (4) auditory discrimination underwent more decrement than visual, with eardrum injury occurring frequently.
