In Experiment 1 cadmium- and saccharin-exposed animals received shock-elicited aggression testing. The cadmium-exposed animals made significantly more and significantly longer aggressive responses than the saccharin-exposed animals. In Experiment 2 cadmium- and saccharin-exposed rats received partial reinforcement runway training followed by extinction, while comparable groups received continuous reinforcement training followed by extinction. The partial reinforcement cadmium animals extinguished more slowly than the partial reinforcement saccharin animals. The converse pattern was shown by the continuous reinforcement animals. The results of these experiments suggest that cadmium exposure may result in heightened emotionality/reactivity.Citation DetailsTitle: Chronic cadmium exposure influences aggressive responding and partial reinforcement extinction performance.Author: Stephen F.
