Abstract
An experiment showed that experience with an insoluble problem interfered with subsequent visual discrimination learning. Prior experience with a soluble problem significantly reduced the deleterious effects of the insoluble problem but this ‘immunization’ did not benefit subjects which were able to develop an incompatible position response in the insoluble problem. Implications of these and other recent results for the theory of learned helplessness are discussed.
