Abstract
In a differential eyelid conditioning study with retardates, four values of CS-UCS interval and the effect of a 200 cps vs a 1000 cps tone as CS+ were investigated. The finding that differential conditioning occurred only with an interval of 500 msec was contrasted with the optimal differential interval of 800 msec for college students.
