Abstract
Two models of delayed reactions, the Uncertain Trace and the Linear Trace-Decay models, were proposed and tested in a delayed-reaction T maze. Ss trained with a short delay attained lower asymptotic performance levels than did Ss trained on the same discrimination, but with no delay between stimulus and response. This was interpreted as reflecting the greater probability that Ss forget the cue during a delay interval, and three additional findings eliminated an alternative explanation that the cue is not attended to in the delay condition. The Linear Trace-Decay model provided a more accurate description of quantitative aspects of the data; however, neither model provided a completely adequate fit to the data.
