I have another hypothesis about that. I suspect that being operant conditioning subjects with a good capacity for learning, they have learned that it is inefficient to retain material that isn't being rotated through their lives at the moment...

after all, they'll see it again soon enough.

Without the reinforcement, what IS the loss rate for primate conditioned responses when removed from the Skinner box?

Just a hypothesis, mind.
