aRats successfully (unsuccessfully) trained in each condition.

bNumber of training sessions (mean ± SD; not including preceding conditions).

cSession number in which performance threshold reached ≥80% of best performance. For each rat, thresholds of successive training sessions were normalized to the best performance (mean ± SD).

dRegressions of threshold and session number before (pre) and after (post) the S-80 session (mean ± SD). Not estimated when S-80 was <2.

eProbabilities that Rpre was generated without improvement in performance. None of the Rpost regressions were significant.

fVariability of performance percentage of a rat’s best performance for sessions before (pre) and after (post) the S-80 session (mean ± SD).

gFacial nerve-lesioned rats.
