Forty male hooded rats received single alternation runway training followed by a 24-day retention interval. On the 25th retention day, reinstatement procedures (re-exposure to the stimuli from original training) were administered: Groups IRA and ORA (N = 10 each) received 10 alternating reward and nonreward placements into a goalbox similar to that of the runway; controls, IRC and ORC (N = 10 each) received 10 placements into an empty neutral box. For half of each group, placements occurred either inside or outside of the experimental room (IR or OR). All rats then received single alternation retraining. Results showed that the alternation-reinstatement procedure reliably facilitated recall and re learning of alternation responding. Retention was minimally affected by the experimental room stimuli alone. However, retention was greatest when the alternation-reinstatement procedure occurred inside the experimental room (Group IRA). |
