The duration of exposure of Ss to background apparatus cues was varied at two levels during classical fear conditioning. One group of Ss spent the entire intertrial interval between successive CS-UCS presentations in the shock-compartment of a conditioning box. A second group was placed into a neutral carrying cage during the intertrial intervals. A hurdle-jump response was used as an indicator of the magnitude of conditioned fear. The second group was found to perform more poorly on the test response than the first. The results were interpreted in terms of differential conditioning to the components of a compound CS. The background apparatus cues were identified as one component of the compound CS
