Abstract
Four groups of rats were trained to make a simple spatial discrimination. Two of the groups had previously been trained to make the reverse discriminations, the other two had no prior training. Two groups were tested I day after training, while two others were tested 44 days after training. There was no retention loss unless prior interference had been provided.Keywords
