Abstract
Rats were trained on a black-white discrimination, and then received a long series of forced trials, ½ to black and ½ to white. On forced trials, both discriminanda received 100% reinforcement (1 experiment) or 50% random reinforcement (another experiment). After this training, the rats were trained on the original problem or its reverse. Speed and error measures indicated that the original discrimination was retained over the equal-reinforcement interval in both experiments.
