The purpose of this study was to investigate \"trans-switching\" through EDR conditioning. \"Trans-switching\" is a phenomenon which consists of a single CS evoking differential CRs as a function of the environmental background in which the organism is situated during CS presentation. Russian investigators have demonstrated the phenomenon in dogs using salivation and/or the electrodefensive response. The present study was an attempt to systematically replicate the Russian studies using human subjects and the EDR.
