“…This group (NoC 3-day) exhibited significantly shorter running times than any of the other NoC groups (.05 < P < .01). These data strengthened the preceding within-group comparisons in indicating a spontaneous improvement in performance, or a "reminiscence" phenomenon, which has already been described in the literature (Huppert & Deutsch, 1969;Madgsick, 1936). An explanation in terms of incidental modifications in motivational state is not likely, since the weights of all the animals regularly increased throughout the experiment.…”

“…However, note that recovery studies do not necessarily support the retrieval block theory proposed by Miller and Springer; recovery may be due to many factors other than removal of a retrieval block. For instance, it has been observed that the retention performance of poorly trained animals may improve spontaneously over a period of hours or days-a reminiscence effect (Anderson, 1937(Anderson, , 1940Bunch & Magdsick, 1933;Huppert & Deutsch, 1969;Jaffard, Destrade, Soumireu-Mourat, & Cardo, 1974;Magdsick, 1936;cf. Munn, 1950).…”

“…This phenomenon, which was later confirmed with animals, with the best performance usually occurring several days following training, is not as well established as the Kamin effect, probably because it has not been studied to as great an extent. Moreover, the earlier studies, mainly those published prior to 1940 (A. C. Anderson, 1940;Magdsick, 1936), have been criticized because of methodological deficiencies. In addition, the authors used different terms to describe the same phenomenon observed after positively and negatively reinforced task: "reminiscence" (Bovet, Bovet-Nitti, & Oliverio, 1969;Jaffard, Destrade, Soumireu-Mourat, & Cardo, 1974), "incubation" (Geller & Jarvik, 1970;Pinel & Cooper, 1966), or simply "improvement of performance" (Gisquet-Verrier & Alexinsky, 1986;Stanes, Brown, & Singer, 1976).…”
