Unsuccessful courtship reduces subsequent courtship behavior of male Drosophila . This experience-dependent behavior modification is called courtship conditioning and has been one of the major paradigms used to study learning and memory in Drosophila . This article describes a basic behavioral assay for quantifying short-term memory of courtship suppression induced by training with a mated female.
