Massed-trial Overtraining Effects on Extinction and Reversal Performance in Turtles (Geoclemys reevesii)

Two experiments with turtles (Geoclemys reevesii) examined the overtrain ing extinction effect (OEE) and the overtraining reversal effect (ORE), under massed train ing conditions. In Experiment 1, three g roups of turtles received 7, 14, or 21 sessions of training in a runway situation for food reinforcement, followed by 15 se ssions of extinction. Extinction was faster, the greater the number ...

Effects of overtraining on extinction in newts (Cynops pyrrhogaster).

The overtraining extinction effect (OEE), a phenomenon in which extended training facilitates extinction, has been found in mammals and reptiles. However, fish have never shown OEE. No study has yet investigated OEE in newts, a representative amphibian species. We tested whether newts, Cynops pyrrhogaster, show OEE in a straight-array task. All animals received five trials per day and were give...
