Resistance to extinction of goldfish was examined ia a trials-equated alley situation. A reverse partial reinforcement effect (100% vs. 57% reinforcement) was found following brief acquistion training, while a conventional partial reinforcement effect was obtained after extended acquisition training. Extended acquisition training with a partial reinforcement sequence that had N lengths of 3 (an N length is the number of consecutive nonreinforcements before at least one reinforced trial) produced greater resistance to extinction than training with a sequence that had N lengths of 1. After brief acquisition training the subjects with the shorter N length produced greater resistance to extinction.

Goldfish were trained in a successive acquisition and extinction shuttle-swimway situation. Groups of 12 fish experienced alternating days of acquisition and extinction, extinction following immediately after each daily acquisition session, and acquisition following immediately after each daily extinction session. None of the groups produced decreasing resistance to extinction across extinctions within eight successive acquisitions and extinctions. A group of fish given 16 successive acquisitions and extinctions with alternating days of acquisition and extinction learned to decrease swimming speeds after eight successive extinctions. However, these fish also decreased acquisition speeds across the last 8 successive acquisitions.
