Note—CSs A, B, C, and D were white noise, tone, flashing light, and buzzer presentations, counterbalanced within groups as completely as possible. CSs A, B, C, and D were 10 sec in duration during Phases 2 and 3, but 60 sec during Phase 1. CS X was a 10-sec click train. The US was a 0.5-sec, 1.0-mA footshock. Slashes denote interspersed trials within sessions. On the basis of simulations of ECH, CR, Cr, and cr denote strong, intermediate, and weak levels of expected conditioned responding. Baseline = mean number of leverpresses emitted across the 30-sec, pre-CS period prior to the first target stimulus presentation during the test session.
