| Abstract: | Retroactive interference is conventionally viewed as attenuated retrieval of a target association due to the training of a
second association between training and testing of the target association. In three experiments in which water-deprived rats
were used as subjects, we manipulated the durations of the time between cue termination and outcome onset (Experiment 1),
the durations of the target and the interfering cues (Experiment 2), and the durations of the outcome used during target and
interfering training (Experiment 3). Greater interference was consistently observed between associations bearing a high degree
of similarity in their temporal structure, which suggests that interference occurs between complex representations that encode
not only the physical attributes of the stimuli, but also their temporal characteristics. |
