Eyeblink conditioned response (CR) timing was assessed in adult and infant rats. In Experiment 1, adult rats were trained with a 150-ms tone conditioned stimulus (CS) paired with a periorbital shock unconditioned stimulus (US; presented at 200- or 500-ms interstimulus intervals [ISIs]). The rats acquired CRs with 2 distinct peaks that occurred just before the US onset times. Experiments 2 and 3 examined developmental changes in CR timing in pups trained on Postnatal Days 24-26 or 32-34. Experiment 3 used a delay conditioning procedure in which the tone CS continued throughout the ISIs. Pups of both ages exhibited robust conditioning. However, there were age-related increases in the percentage of double-peaked CRs and in CR timing precision. Ontogenetic changes in eyeblink CR timing may be related to developmental changes in cerebellar cortical or hippocampal function.
