The Hall-Pearce (1979) negative transfer effect in rats was used to examine whether temporal relationships are coded as part of the informational content of associations that results from CS-US pairings. The transfer effect consists of a deficit in conditioned responding following CS-USstrong pairings in Phase 2 that results from prior CS-USweak pairings in Phase 1. Using conditioned bar-press suppression, we found that gaps of different duration between CS termination and US onset in the two training phases resulted in less of a Hall-Pearce negative transfer effect than did an equivalent gap in the two training phases. The results are discussed with respect to the temporal coding hypothesis (Matzel, Held, & Miller, 1988), the Pearce and Hall (1980) model, and Bouton's (1993) interference model.
采用霍尔 - 皮尔斯（1979年）在大鼠身上发现的负迁移效应，来检验时间关系是否被编码为条件刺激 - 非条件刺激配对所产生的联想信息内容的一部分。负迁移效应是指，在第二阶段条件刺激 - 非条件刺激强配对之后出现的条件反应缺陷，这是由第一阶段的条件刺激 - 非条件刺激弱配对所导致的。利用条件性压杆抑制，我们发现，与两个训练阶段中相等的间隔相比，两个训练阶段中条件刺激终止与非条件刺激开始之间不同持续时间的间隔所产生的霍尔 - 皮尔斯负迁移效应更小。我们结合时间编码假说（马泽尔、赫尔德和米勒，1988年）、皮尔斯和霍尔（1980年）模型以及鲍顿（1993年）干扰模型对结果进行了讨论。
