Title: Effect of Hunger on the Acoustic Startle Reflex
Abstract: There are conflicting reports concerning the effect of intensity of appetitive drive on the acoustic startle reflex. Eight rats were tested for acoustic startle, using a within-subjects design, while under either 0 or 20 hr. food deprivation. No over-all significant effect was found, although 0-hr. deprivation showed greater startle on the last day of testing.
