TL;DR

The CS+ was significantly higher than the CS− pressure for each group in the conditioning and reconditioning phases suggesting discriminative control had been achieved.

Abstract

For group 1 a light occurred with a blood pressure cuff inflation (CS+) and shock (UCS) followed 9 sec. later while no shock followed cuff inflation alone (CS−). For group 2 CS− was cuff inflation + light while CS+ was the cuff inflation alone followed by shock. The CS+ was significantly higher than the CS− pressure for each group in the conditioning and reconditioning phases suggesting discriminative control had been achieved.
