For 7 consecutive days slugs (Limax maximus) were exposed to escapable, inescapable, or no light-heat stress in an escape task. On Days 8 and 9 they were tested in a different escape task. The slugs in the inescapable light-heat group had reliably longer escape latencies and more failures to escape than the slugs in the escapable light-heat group or the no light-heat control group.

D006380	Helplessness, Learned	Learned expectation that one's responses are independent of reward and, hence, do not predict or control the occurrence of rewards. Learned helplessness derives from a history, experimentally induced or naturally occurring, of having received punishment/aversive stimulation regardless of responses made. Such circumstances result in an impaired ability to learn. Used for human or animal populations. (APA, Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms, 1994)	Learned Helplessness
D000818	Animals	Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001143	Arousal	Cortical vigilance or readiness of tone, presumed to be in response to sensory stimulation via the reticular activating system.	Vigilance, Cortical,Arousals,Cortical Vigilance
