Safe periods both explain and need explaining

Article Abstract:

This article examines the concept of a safe period as a reinforcing stimulus that leads to the development of avoidance behavior in animals during tasks involving electric shocks. These safe periods, or the shock-free intervals following specific conditioned responses, become natural reinforcing stimuli that contribute to avoidance behavior.
