Fear in the theater of the mind: Differential fear conditioning with imagined stimuli

2021-12-17

Abstract excerpt

<p>Many symptoms of anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder are elicited by fearful mental imagery. Yet, little is known about how visual imagery of CSs affects the acquisition of differential fear conditioning. Across three experiments (n1=33, n2=27, n3=26), we observed that healthy human participants acquired differential fear conditioning to both viewed and imagined percepts serving as the conditioned stimul...
