Abstract
Food-deprived male rats were placed in conflict by pairing shock and feeding. They were trained in a runway which varied in length for different groups. Stabilimeter scores indicated that runway length during training had persisting effects on activity levels. Subsequent deprivation produced differential stabilimeter activity in the absence of runway trials, which was taken as evidence for conditioned conflict elicited by drive stimuli.
