The temperature-dependent resistivity and the colossal resistance effect induced by strong electric fields of the small-band Pr(1-x)Ca(x)MnO(3) (PCMO) manganites are analysed with respect to the influence of the Ca doping, post-annealing, the prehistory of the electric stimulation, and the physical dimensions of the sample. Despite the phase separation between charge and orbital ordered and disordered phases, PCMO reveals the properties of a homogeneous medium with a conductivity governed by the hopping of small polarons if the electric field is not too strong. In contrast, high electric fields induce a structural transition which gives rise to a glassy behaviour in the transient regime. In the low resistance state the small activation energy of charge carrier hopping implies a transition to large polaron hopping.
