Overnight incubation of a partially conditioned eyeblink response in rabbits
Tóm tắt
Three experiments employing the rabbit eyelid conditioning paradigm examined the effect of a variable-duration rest period on the performance of a partially acquired CR. Conditioning performance improved as a direct monotonic function of the retention interval. Performance after a 24-h rest interval was substantially superior to that observed after a rest interval of several minutes. The third experiment indicated that fatigue factors may be an important factor in producing this incubation effect.
