The neuropsychology of fear learning and fear regulation
2005
International Journal of Psychophysiology
Finally, conditioned startle potentiation can be obtained without contingency awareness, which on the other hand is necessary for skin conductance conditioning to occur. ...
It is suggested here that potentiation of the acoustic startle reflex is a rather specific measure for fear acquisition, while skin conductance discrimination indexes contingency learning. ...

Fear conditioning of SCR but not the startle reflex requires conscious discrimination of threat and safety
2014
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience
There is conflicting evidence as to whether awareness is required for conditioning of the skin conductance response (SCR). ...
These findings are in stark contrast with other observations in human fear conditioning research, showing that SCR predominantly reflects contingency learning. ...

Amygdala-dependent fear conditioning in humans is modulated by the BDNFval66met polymorphism
2010
Behavioral Neuroscience
Pictures of male faces were used as stimuli and fear learning was quantified by fear potentiated startle (FPS) and skin conductance responses (SCR). ...
Aware BDNF met-carriers show a deficit in amygdala-dependent fear conditioning as indicated by an absence of FPS responses in the last acquisition block. ...
Skin Conductance Responses In aware participants, robust conditioned SCR discrimination was demonstrated by a significant main effect for stimulus, indicating differential conditioning, during both conditioning ...

Conditioning with masked stimuli affects the timecourse of skin conductance responses
2010
Behavioral Neuroscience
In Pavlovian fear conditioning, an aversive unconditional stimulus (UCS) is repeatedly paired with a neutral conditional stimulus (CS). ...
There are currently two general models competing to explain the role of subjective awareness in fear conditioning. ...
In fear conditioning with humans, autonomic CRs can be measured via changes in skin conductance level (SCL). ...

In the Blink of an Eye: Investigating the Role of Awareness in Fear Responding by Measuring the Latency of Startle Potentiation
2012
Brain Sciences
We review research suggesting that single-cue delay classical conditioning is independent of awareness of the contingency between the conditioned stimulus (CS) and the unconditioned stimulus (US). ...
These results indicate that the process underlying delay conditioned responding is independent of awareness, and that trace fear conditioned responding is dependent on awareness. ...
Previous studies have used skin conductance responses to masked conditioned fear-evoking stimuli [23, 59] . ...

Startle reactivity and anxiety disorders: aversive conditioning, context, and neurobiology

A distinction is made between cued fear (as in specific phobia), a phasic response to an explicit threat cue, and anxiety, a more sustained and future-oriented response not linked to a specific discrete ...
Following a brief description of the neurobiology of cued fear and context conditioning, evidence is presented showing that anxious patients are overly sensitive to threatening contexts. ...
