“…The agreement of the present results with those of Danguir and Nicolaidis (1977), but not with those of Revusky and Coombes (1979), raises concern about why the results differ between the studies. One factor that probably contributed to Revusky and Coombes's failure to obtain slow reacquisition in at least some of their experiments is that their control groups received extensive preexposure (e.g., 10 exposures in some experiments and 8 in another experiment) to the flavor that was to be conditioned just prior to testing.…”

“…Slow reacquisition is therefore not specific to the CER procedure of Bouton (1986) and Bouton and Swartzentruber (1989). The results support Danguir and Nicolaidis's (1977) finding of slow reacquisition with a CTA procedure, while conflicting with Revusky and Coombes's (1979) claim that slow reacquisition does not occur with a CTA procedure.…”

“…Moreover, there have also been conflicting findings, even with the use of a single preparation. Although Danguir and Nicolaidis (1977), using conditioned taste aversion (CTA), obtained a slow-reacquisition effect that parallels the slow-reacquisition effects obtained by Bouton (1986) and Bouton and Swartzentruber (1989) with conditioned suppression, Revusky and Coombes (1979), on the other hand, stated that slow reacquisition does not occur with a CTA procedure, They claimed to have obtained little evidence of slow reacquisition of extinguished taste aversions, despite having varied several conditioning parameters.…”

Rats were used to examine the extent to which extinction of an acquired conditioned taste aversion retards subsequent reacquisition. A saccharin-flavored solution (sac) was paired with LiCI and then followed by C8-alone extinction trials with this flavor. A control group received a different flavor, decaffeinated-coffee (coff) , during initial conditioning and extinction. Sac was then paired with LiCIfor all rats during a second conditioning phase. Reacquisition of the aversion to sac was retarded relative to the acquisition of an aversion to sac by the control group. A similar experiment with fewer extinction trials, but still with complete loss of the initial aversion, did not obtain slow reacquisition. The results are discussed with respect to an interference view of extinction and the slowreacquisition effect.

“…For example, Danguir and Nicolaidis (1977) found extremely slow reacquisition; their results suggested that an aversion to saccharin could not be relearned following extinction. In contrast, Revusky and Coombes (1979) found that reacquisition .did occur. It was rapid compared to acquisition in a rest control group but comparable in rate to acquisition in a learning-experienced control group (Revusky & Coombes, 1979, Experiment 1).…”

In four experiments utilizing an appetitive conditioning preparation, reacquisition of conditioned responding was found to occur both rapidly and slowly following extinction. In Experiment 1, acquisition of responding to a tone that had been conditioned and extinguished occurred more rapidly than acquisition in either a group that received equivalent exposure to the food unconditioned stimulus or a "rest" control group that received only exposure to the apparatus in the first two phases. However, reacquisition was impaired relative to acquisition in a "learning-experienced" group that had previously received conditioning and extinction with a different stimulus. Experiments 2 and 3 produced similar results, but also found that high responding during reacquisition was confined to trials that followed reinforced, rather than nonreinforced, trials. Experiment 4, in which very few initial conditioning trials were used, produced reacquisition that was slow compared with both learning-experienced and rest controls. The results are consistent with a role for sequential learning: Reacquisition is rapid when animals have learned that reinforced trials signal other reinforced trials.

“…In taste-aversion learning in rats, rapid reacquisition has been observed (Revusky & Coombes, 1979), but "slow reacquisition" has been more common (Aguado, de Brugada, & Hall, 2001;Calton, Mitchell, & Schachtman, 1996;Hart, Bourne, & Schachtman, 1995). For example, Hart et al (1995) found that reacquisition was retarded relative to a "learningexperienced" control group that had received training and extinction with an orthogonal taste, for which there was little, if any, stimulus generalization.…”
