Fear from the heart: sensitivity to fear stimuli depends on individual heartbeats.
Cognitions and emotions can be influenced by bodily physiology. Here, we investigated whether the processing of brief fear stimuli is selectively gated by their timing in relation to individual heartbeats. Emotional and neutral faces were presented to human volunteers at cardiac systole, when ejection of blood from the heart causes arterial baroreceptors to signal centrally the strength and tim...
متن کاملFear Conditioning to Subliminal Fear Relevant and Non Fear Relevant Stimuli
A growing body of evidence suggests that conscious visual awareness is not a prerequisite for human fear learning. For instance, humans can learn to be fearful of subliminal fear relevant images--images depicting stimuli thought to have been fear relevant in our evolutionary context, such as snakes, spiders, and angry human faces. Such stimuli could have a privileged status in relation to manip...
متن کاملAre fear memories erasable?–reconsolidation of learned fear with fear-relevant and fear-irrelevant stimuli
Recent advances in the field of fear learning have demonstrated that a single reminder exposure prior to extinction training can prevent the return of extinguished fear by disrupting the process of reconsolidation. These findings have however proven hard to replicate in humans. Given the significant implications of preventing the return of fear, the purpose of the present study was to further s...
متن کاملThe influence of animal fear on attentional capture by fear-relevant animal stimuli in children.
The present study demonstrated that pictures of fear-relevant animals, snakes and spiders, presented among backgrounds of other animal stimuli captured attention and interfered in the detection of a neutral target to the same extent in a large sample of unselected children (N=81). Moreover, detection of a neutral target animal was slowed more in the presence of a feared fear-relevant distracter...
متن کاملThe Origins of Snake and Spider Fear: How Infants Learn to Associate Evolutionary Fear-Relevant Stimuli and Paired Stimuli
Previous research has demonstrated that female infants are capable of learning paired associations between predatory and emotional stimuli that male infants do not learn (Rakison, in review). These findings come in conjunction with evidence pointing towards inherent evolutionary psychological learning mechanisms that allow for the rapid detection of, attending to, and learning about predatory a...
