“…We did not manipulate deprivation, making it unlikely that the deprivation confound discussed earlier distorted the retention pattern present in the Wansley and Holloway study. The results of another study (Tribhowan, Rucker, & McDiarmid, 1971) which demonstrated poorer retention of an appetitive task at a 4-h interval than at 15-min or 8-or 24-h intervals also agree with the present findings. This deficit at the 4-h interval roughly corresponds to the deficit found at the 3-h interval when compared to the 0.25-, 9-, and 24-h intervals in the present experiment.…”

“…Some investigators have found no retention deficits in the 24 h following training (Gabriel, 1968;Hablitz & Braud, 1972); others have reported a single retention deficit (Caul, Barrett, Thune, & Osborne, 1974;Tribhowan, Rucker, and McDiarmid, 1971). Unfortunately, none of these studies includes a systematic range 01' training-testing intervals during the 24 h following training, as in Holloway and Wansley's aversive conditioning experiments.…”

Recent investigations have found a multiphasic retention function associated with avoidance training (e.g., Holloway & Wansley, 1973a, bl, The present experiment was done to determine if a similar retention function also describes appetitively motivated behavior. Rats were allowed access to preferred solution in the shock compartment of a passive avoidance apparatus. Then either .25 h after the appetitive preexposure or at successive 3-h intervals up to 24 h, the rats were administeredone-trialpassive avoidancetraining consisting of a strong shock presented in the shock compartment. The retention of the appetitive preexposure was determined by its effect on performance of the passive avoidance task as measured 24 hafter the shock trial. The results dernonstrated that the retention function associated with the appetitive preexposure was phasic with an altemation between high and low retention every 12 h. Specifically, retention was higher after the .25·, 9-, 12-, and 24-h intervals than after 3·, 6-, 15-, and 18-h intervals. These results are consistent with prior research on the retention of avoidancetraining.

“…The 2 responses are in a sense opposites; one reinforces movement and the other reinforces cessation of movement. Kamin-like effects, however, are more generally found after aversive than appetitive training (but see Tribhowan, Rucker, & McDiarmid, 1971).…”

“…Although the Kamin effect has been demonstrated in a simple, nondifferential appetitive learning situation (Seybert et al, 1979), examination of retention in an appetitive discrimination paradigm might also prove very helpful in this regard. However, the results of the two studies that have examined retention of an appetitive discrimi-nation (Jaffard, Destrade, Soumireu-Mourat, & Cardo, 1974;Tribhowan, Rucker,& McDiarmid, 1971) are inconclusive because they used food-deprivation procedures. Thus, the potential advantage of using an appetitive paradigm to evaluate retention of an associative effect may have been lost due to a nonassociative confound (differential motivation).…”

Two experiments were performed to investigate retention of a discriminative response under conditions of appetitive motivation. In Experiment 1, four groups of rats received 20 training trials in a two-choice position discrimination procedure. Following training, the subjects received 16 test trials .05, I, or 24 h later on a reversal of the original discrimination problem. The results revealed that retention of the original discriminative training was a U-shaped function of time following training (Le., a Kamin effect was observed), in terms of both associative (percent errors) and performance (response latencies) measures. The data from the second experiment ruled out certain nonassociative explanations for the results of Experiment 1. Thus, the results of these experiments extend the observation of nonmonotonic retention functions to appetitive discrimination learning and provide further support for the hypothesis that an associative mechanism is responsible for such functions.
