Differences in pain-related fear acquisition and generalization: an experimental study comparing patients with fibromyalgia and healthy controls
A Meulders, A Jans, JWS Vlaeyen - Pain, 2015 - journals.lww.com
Anomalies in fear learning, such as failure to inhibit fear to safe stimuli, lead to sustained
anxiety, which in turn may augment pain. In the same vein, stimulus generalization is …

Age differences in emotion-induced blindness: Positivity effects in early attention.
Compared with younger adults, older adults tend to favor positive information more than
negative information in their attention and memory. This “positivity effect” has been observed …

Emotional arousal and recognition memory are differentially reflected in pupil diameter responses during emotional memory for negative events in younger and older …
A better memory for negative emotional events is often attributed to a conjoint impact of
increased arousal and noradrenergic modulation (NA). A decline in NA during aging is well …
