Effect of context order on retention latencies across test contexts. (A) Retention latencies in the Shock box depended on the order in which mice were tested in this box, displaying longer retention latencies when tested there as first versus third test context. (B) Mice that were tested first in the Shock box displayed longer retention latencies in the Shock box compared to those in the Non-Shock box, whereas this difference was not significant for mice that were tested as second or third in the Shock box. Data represent mean + SEM. Dots indicate individual data points. (***) P < 0.001: different from Shock box, (❖❖) P < 0.01: different from first box.
