Weiss and Glazer proposed that this effect caused reduction of noradrenergic activity via the "motor activation deficit." In another experiment testing this effect, subjects were given puzzles and had to solve them in order to stop an irritating noise. The psychologist who discovered this effect found that it is exhibited by people who pessimistically describe events as permanent. The experiment which demonstrated this effect divided its subjects into three groups placed inside shuttle boxes, and found that the third group became unable to jump over a barrier after being subjected to unavoidable electric shocks. For 10 points, name this effect in which a subject is conditioned to remain in an unpleasant or harmful situation, first discovered by Martin Seligman.
