|
Retention of detour learning in turtles over 10-day and 60-day intervals was demonstrated. The detour problem required Ss to escape from a walled enclosure by turning away from a much preferred expanse of daylight visible through a barred panel. Disruption of the learned pattern by antecedent confinement was also demonstrated when Ss reverted to more direct but inadequate modes of escape. This performance decrement was minimized when Ss were confined under chlorpromazine and amobarbital, and enhanced following amphetamine sulphate administration. It was suggested that interfering responses were established under an emotional state induced by walled confinement and persisted in the postconfinement period.
