Abstract
Several experiments have found complete retention of conditioned suppression when overall suppression to the signal for shock was measured. The present experiment examined retention of conditioned suppression but did so with a paradigm that produced temporal discrimination of shock occurrence. Nine rats were exposed to a flashing light signal of 5-min duration that always terminated with a shock. After several months, a temporal discrimination was well established, as shown by maximum suppression toward the end of the signal period. After remaining in the home cage for 25 days, the rats were again subjected to the conditioning procedure. The overall level of suppression remained the same but the temporal discrimination was not observed.Keywords
