The authors examined the time course of affective responding associated with different
affective dimensions--anxious apprehension, anxious arousal, and anhedonic depression …

Potentiation of startle has been demonstrated in experimentally produced aversive
emotional states, and clinical reports suggest that potentiated startle may be associated with …

Affective startle eyeblink modulation by unipolar depressed and nondepressed participants
was assessed during the anticipation and viewing of emotional pictures. Anticipatory startle …

This study tested predictions based on the emotion context insensitivity (ECI) hypothesis of
Rottenberg, Gross, and Gotlib (2005) that a nonclinical sample of people with depressive …

Background: The amplitude of the startle reflex response is known to be influenced by the
concomitant presentation of affect-toned material—if it is positive affect-toned, the reflex is …

Twenty undergraduate subjects were presented with unsignaled 50-ms white noise bursts
(95 dB) to probe their perceptual processing while viewing 36 colored photographic slides …

This theoretical model of emotion is based on research using the startle-probe methodology.
It explains inconsistencies in probe studies of attention and fear conditioning and provides a …

In two experimental sessions, we assessed earlyand lateonset acoustic startle eyeblink
modulation and subjective ratings of emotional pictures by nondepressed participants and …

The effects of an emotional stimulus prepulse on probe startle response were examined
here. Pleasant, neutral, and unpleasant pictures were viewed for 6 s, and an acoustic startle …

In the present study, we examined the stability of one measure of emotion, the emotion-
modulated acoustic startle response, in an undergraduate sample. Using the acoustic startle …
