Abstract
It has been previously demonstrated that the failure to provide adequate retrieval cues reliably attenuates the resistance to extinction of a partially reinforced response with a long intertrial interval. The present experiment represented an attempt to determine whether the attenuating effect of nonreinstatement on resistance to extinction was less pronounced at shorter intertrial intervals. Reinstatement conditions were combined factorially with three intertrial intervals (15 sec, 15 min, and 30 min). Reinstatement resulted in superior resistance to extinction to all three intertrial intervals. No other differences were reliable. Results support the notion that memories are cue dependent even at short intervals.
