Rats and mice rapidly update timed behaviors by N. Aggadi, S. Krikawa, T. A. Paine, P. Simen, C. D. Howard

“…We then quantified the rate of updating to new trial durations and found that rodents consistently updated their start times within 2–3 trials following a change in interval duration, before stabilizing their behavior by the third or fourth trial. To account for repeated exposures to fixed-interval durations, a second set of animals was tested with new fixed-intervals after being trained on the serial fixed-interval task described above. …”
