Dynamics Of An Experimental Neurosis, Pt 1 - Feeding Behavior And Induction Of Neurosis

Illustrates an apparatus for releasing pellets of food into a foodbox in a cat's training case. Cats are trained to respond to a light or bell signal by going to the foodbox, lifting the lid and obtaining food. A motivational conflict is then induced by a blast of air as the animal is obtaining food. Results are an inhibition of feeding, motor disturbances and other neurotic symptoms.
