Classical pairings of a sound stimulus with shock elicited larger magnitude and more rapidly conditioned autonomic responses when subjects were responding on variable‐interval schedules for food than when they were eating freely available food. The difference was not attributable to changes in control values of heart rate and blood pressure, or to alterations in motor activity, but appeared related to operant suppression.
