| dc.description.abstract | Rats were used in two experiments where recovery of an otherwise "unretrievable" memory for a passive avoidance step-down task was demonstrated. The results indicate that animals rendered "amnestic" with ECS treatment are capable of reversing that amnesia when kinesthetic feedback is given during retention testing. The second experiment showed that the kinesthetic feedback also increased the latencies of foot shock only animals# Results suggest that recovery of memory from ECS occurs given a step-down "reminder" at the tine of testing and that the effects of ECS are probably on the retrieval rather than the storage or consolidation processes. | |
