Effects of punisher intensity. (A) The facilitated acquisition in WKY rats is independent of shock intensity (1 vs. 2 mA), although male WKY rats trained with the 2 mA shock extinguish more slowly than counterparts trained with 1 mA shock, or SD rats at either intensity. Adapted from Figure 1 of Jiao et al. (2011b). (B) In the model, shock intensity is determined by the value of Rpress. As in the animal data, increasing the shock intensity (from Rpress = -4 vs. -8) strongly attenuates extinction in the WKY model, with relatively little effect on extinction in the SD model.
