Abstract:
Male rats exposed to high levels of testosterone for 8 weeks, or to one high dose of testosterone 24 h before testing, displayed an increase in punished responding in the Vogel conflict test. The findings may be taken as indirect support for the assumption that the conflict paradigm reflects not only anxiety but also impulsivity.
