| Acq-Massed | X→US (8) | 25 | 65 | X |
| OV-Long | AX→US (8) | 250 | 650 | X |
| OV-Partial | AX→US (8) / AX (72) | 25 | 650 | X |
| OV-Spaced | AX→US (8) | 25 | 650 | X |

Note—Acq, elemental acquisition control; OV, overshadowing; Long, conditioning with CS of long duration; Partial, conditioning with CS of short duration on 10% partial reinforcement schedule; Spaced, conditioning with CS of short duration; Massed, conditioning with CS of short duration with short US-US interval; X, target cue; A, overshadowing cue; US, footshock unconditioned stimulus; “→,” sequential pairing of stimuli. CS X was a click train and CS A was a complex tone for all subjects. Numbers in parentheses refer to the number of each trial type.
