Spreading the reduction of fear: A narrative review of generalization of extinction learning in human fear conditioning

2025-04-01

Abstract excerpt

<p>Extinction learning refers to a reduction in fear to a conditioned stimulus (CS) that previously signaled a threat, but now occurs without the expected threat. This mechanism is core to exposure-based treatments for anxiety-related disorders. Enhancing the generalization of extinction learning is crucial for improving treatment outcomes, as it helps reduce fear across a range of generalization stimuli (GSs) res...
