Abstract
|
During observation on the behavior of white rats, the idea occurred that comparative psychology could assist in solving some of the problems of abnormal psychology. Some of the rats, considered neurotic because of their variation in conduct from the majority of rats when going for food, increased the speed of their performance with the increase of the drive (in this instance longer periods without food). It may be possible that study of the conduct of these rats may provide more information concerning neurotic behavior, its relation to drives and barriers and methods of eliminating such behavior.
