Abstract: Four groups of five dogs each underwent acquisition and extinction of a conditioned leg flexion avoidance response, The CS-US interval was 4.0 sec for all groups, but CS duration was either .3. 1.0, 2.0 or 4.0 sec for each group. Responses occurring prior to CS offset terminated the CS. There was no evidence that CS termination facilitated acquisition of the avoidance response. There was slight evidence that the 4.0 sec group took longer to extinguish the avoidance response.
