Abstract:

Short- and long-term memory in adult crabs Chasmagnathus granulatus of different age are evaluated in two learning paradigms: habituation to a visual danger stimulus and appetitive conditioning. No difference between young, middle-aged and aged animals is found in short-term habituation with 15 training trials. A good level of retention of the habituated response at 24 h is exhibited by young and middle-aged crabs but a poor one by aged crabs. When the training-to-testing interval is lengthened to 48 h or the training session reduced to 7 trials, young and middle-aged crabs continue to show long-term habituation but aged individuals exhibit no retention at all. As regards appetitive conditioning, young, middle-aged and aged crabs present similar short-term memory with 5 training trials and similar long-term memory when tested at 24 h, but an age-related deficit in long-term retention is exhibited when the intersession interval is lengthened to 48 h or the training reduced to 3 trials. Thus, a reduction of long-term memory related to age is demonstrated in the crab Chasmagnathus. Since it is shown in two different learning paradigms, the possibility of explaining the deficit in terms of a failure in memory mechanisms due to aging rather than as a consequence of ontogenetic shift in the crab's behavior is discussed.
