Training-to-testing intervals different from 24 h impair habituation in the crab Chasmagnathus

A shadow moving overhead elicits an escape response in the crab Chasmagnathus that habituates promptly and for a long period. Experiments were done to test the effects of time of day (light-phase vs. dark-phase) on the acquisition and retention of the habituated response. The short-term habituation...
