Five-year retention of the classically conditioned eyeblink response in young adult, middle-aged, and older humans
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to determine the conditioned eyeblink response in young, middle aged and older individuals over a retention period of five years. The study on the long-term retention of conditioned response (CR) was necessary since it was associated to age-related disorders of learning and memory. Results revealed that CR was retained over long periods and the extent of retention was age-dependent. Reacquisition rates were higher in young individuals compared with rates of middle aged and aged participants.
