Abstract: | Four experiments found the magnitude of spontaneous recovery after extinction to be greater with a shorter interval between
initial conditioning and extinction. Experiments 1 and 2 used a Pavlovian magazine approach procedure with rat subjects, Experiment
3 used an instrumental training procedure with rats, and Experiment 4 used a sign-tracking procedure with pigeons. These results
are not anticipated by many accounts of spontaneous recovery that attribute it to the fading of learning that occurred during
extinction. |
