Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research has shown that rats become more vulnerable to ulcers when exposed to uncontrollable shocks. This is known as learned helplessness, where the rat learns that their actions have no impact on their environment, leading to increased stress and susceptibility to ulcers. Predictable shocks, low-intensity shocks, and repeated shocks have not been shown to have the same effect on ulcer vulnerability as uncontrollable shocks.
