Examined the developmental emergence of fear-potentiated startle in rats ranging in age from 16 to 75 days. In Exp 1, a pure tone served as the CS and an acoustic startle pulse served as the unconditioned stimulus (UCS) for fear conditioning. Fear-potentiated startle by the tone CS was observed in rats 23 days of age and older but not in rats 16 days of age. In Exp 2, a light served as the CS. Rats 30 days of age and older showed fear-potentiated startle, whereas 23-day-old rats did not. The final experiment demonstrated that another behavioral index of fear, stimulus-elicited freezing, was observed earlier in development than fear-potentiated startle, confirming the effectiveness of the training procedure for conditioning fear. Results suggest that fear-potentiated startle is a relatively late-emerging response system, parallelling the development of conditioned autonomic changes (eg, heart rate) rather than that of freezing.(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
