As I recall, he had to drag dogs to the other side with the barrier completely down. Other attempts, such as calling them and putting Hebrew National franks on the safe side did not work. It took a number of times for some of the dogs. Michael B.

I don't have the original article and can't find further discussion of LH in any of my texts. Following Seligman's original experiments, were there conditions under which the learned helplessness behavior was extinguished? If so, how many unpaired trials before the dogs regained escape behavior? Were there attempts to carry the dogs over the divider to "teach" the benefits of escape? Thanks, Pam
