TL;DR
An experiment with rats investigated forgetting of inhibition of delay in the conditioned suppression paradigm and found a similar but weaker pattern was found with the change of context; this effect was independent of the retention interval.
Abstract
An experiment with rats investigated forgetting of inhibition of delay in the conditioned suppression paradigm. The combined effects of contextual change and retention interval were tested. After a reliable temporal discrimination was reached, half of the rats received a test in the training context after a retention interval of 3 or 20 days. The other half received it in a different but equally familiar context at either retention interval. The longest retention interval flattened the temporal discrimination gradient and increased suppression to the CS. A similar but weaker pattern was found with the change of context; this effect was independent of the retention interval. The implications for retrieval and interference theory [Bouton, M.E., 1993. Psychol. Bull., 114: 80-99] and hypotheses concerning the forgetting of specific features of stimuli over time [Riccio, D.C., Richardson, R. and Ebner, D.L., 1984. Psychol. Bull., 96: 152-165] are discussed.

Siphon withdrawal, studied in unrestrained animals, showed marked habituation within a single ten-trial training session, and spaced training produced significantly longer lasting habituation than massed training.

Four experiments to investigate the transfer of learning from one context to another showed that the habituation of the unconditioned response to a stimulus presented in one context was left intact when the stimulus was presented in another context, but that latent inhibition was attenuated when preexposure and conditioning phases occurred in different contexts.

Experiment 2 confirmed that the latent inhibition effect survived the retention interval for subjects that received no habituation test session, implying that habituation of the OR and latent inhibition are determined by different mechanisms.

A critical analysis of the CC phenomenon suggests that contextual change effects (CCEs) might be more properly viewed as instrumental behavior, not impairments, and that CCEs may often represent “sampling” behavior—investigative responses that could supply occasion-setting information.

In testing, adult rats improve their efficiency, whereas senescent and particularly former weanling rats do not catch up with training scores, which is directly related to the age of the subjects, whereas response rates are inversely related to it.
