Neural correlates of conditioned responses to disorder-specific and non-specific stimuli in spider phobia

Methods Spider-phobics (SPQ > 20) and a spider non-fearful control group (SPQ <3) underwent an aversive conditioning paradigm with three geometric shapes serving as CS and highly aversive pictures (e.g. of mutilations), pictures of spiders and neutral pictures (e.g. of household items) on 16 a...

Summary:Methods Spider-phobics (SPQ > 20) and a spider non-fearful control group (SPQ <3) underwent an aversive conditioning paradigm with three geometric shapes serving as CS and highly aversive pictures (e.g. of mutilations), pictures of spiders and neutral pictures (e.g. of household items) on 16 acquisition trials (100% reinforcement).
