Condition complete, good; Experiments by Norman R.F. Maier and Nathan M. Glaser, photographed by Adelbert Ford; This film is a pictorial presentation of neurotic behavior in rats, with an attempt at diagnosis. Rats are trained using the Lashley jumping apparatus to react in a certain manner. Afterwards, the stimulus is removed, and a situation is structured in which the only learned responses available are negative ones. The results are either new adaptations to old learned behavior, or neurotic behavior. Neurotic behavior begins with a violent outburst but is followed by passive behavior, even when the rat is returned to his cage with other rats; Received: (date unknown) as a donation from the Psychological Cinema Register of Pennsylvania State University; Videocassette (Betacam SP); Videodisc (DVD)
