Abstract: Cockroaches (Periplaneta americana) learned to passively avoid electric shock in a two-compartment box after a single training trial. However, Ss exposed to CO2 gas immediately after the training trial failed to show retention of the previous experience when tested 24 h later. Results obtained are consistent with those observed in studies of retrograde amnesia in vertebrates.
