Abstract:The present study examined long-term retention of learning of single alternate reward series in rats. Rats were given seven trials in a straight runway daily. During acquisition training of 16 days, Group SA (single alternate) received a series of seven trials of RNRNRNR (R: reward, N: non-reward) daily, whereas Group RD (random) was given presentation of either of RNRNNRR, RNNRRNR, RRNNRNR, or RRNRNNR in blocks of four days. After retention interval of 23 days, both groups were trained with a single alternate… Show more
