Perceptual decision-making regarding phylogenetically salient stimuli

2023-09-26

Abstract excerpt

<p>Phylogenetically salient stimuli such as spiders are commonly reported threats in the general population and the most common object of specific phobias in clinical populations. Several theories have hypothesized that our perceptual systems prioritize such stimuli in an “automatic” or “bottom-up” manner due to their evolutionary salience. However, empirical research on perceptual processing of these stimuli as w...
