Punishment inhibits an instrumental response in hooded rats.
Punishment led to the cessation of a food-rewarded bar-pressing response in hooded rats deprived of food for 23 hours. The response remained inhibited for 2 weeks, and only one of four rats resumed responding when food deprivation was increased to 47 and 71 hours.
