Young rabbits (5–7 weeks old) conditioned more rapidly and demonstrated longer latency responses than older rabbits (14–20 weeks old) with an 800‐msec interstimulus interval. With a 200‐ or 400‐msec interval, conditioning rate and response latency were similar for both age groups. Although a 4‐min intertrial interval produced conditioning in fewer trials than a 1‐min interval, there was no interaction of this variable with the age factor.
