向几个年龄段的幼鼠提供已知对成年动物具有厌恶性和破坏性行为的刺激（笼中家猫、电击脚和突然移动的物体）。20日龄的大鼠相对不受这些事件的影响，而30日龄及以上的大鼠倾向于减少他们的运动和冻结后，这些线索的介绍。这些数据与Bolles的假设一致，即休克引起的反应是先天的防御反应。提示幼年大鼠被动回避学习能力低下可能是由于其对休克性冻结反应能力不足所致。
Young rats of several ages were presented with stimuli (a caged domestic cat, a footshock and a suddenly moving object) known to be aversive to adults and disruptive of behavior in mature animals. Rats 20 days old were relatively unaffected by these events, while rats aged 30 days and older tended to reduce their locomotion and freeze upon the presentation of these cues. These data are consistent with Bolles'' hypothesis that shock-elicited responses are innate defensive reactions. It is suggested that the inefficient passive avoidance learning in juvenile rats may result from their deficit in shock-induced freezing.
