Transfer of conditioning in stress-induced analgesia.
Classical conditioning of stress-induced analgesia (SIA) resulted in higher tail flick latencies in BALB/c mice. Transfer of classical conditioning of SIA was evident when the same repetition rate (pulsed light or pulsed tone) characterized stimuli in different sensory modalities. This finding is discussed in terms of opioid production and of generalization of emotional reactions.
