Generalization of conditioned fear is adaptive in some situations but maladaptive when fear
excessively generalizes to innocuous stimuli with incidental resemblance to a genuine …

The present work examines whether the variability of attitude objects at attitude acquisition
increases the generalization of likes and dislikes. In particular, variability might enhance the …

The current study adopted a multimodal assessment approach to map the idiosyncratic
nature of how individuals perceive, represent, and remember their surroundings and to …

Traditional associative learning theories predict that training with feature negative (A+/AB-)
contingencies leads to the feature B acquiring negative associative strength and becoming a …

Given the increasing use of threat conditioning and generalization for clinical‐translational
research efforts, establishing test–retest reliability of these paradigms is necessary …

In the field of stimulus generalization, an old yet unresolved discussion pertains to what
extent stimulus misidentifications contribute to the pattern of conditioned responding. In this …

Exposure-based treatment involves repeated presentation of feared stimuli or situations in
the absence of perceived threat (ie, extinction learning). However, the stimulus or situation of …

When studying psychological phenomena, theories are desirable that can explain these
phenomena in different tasks or contexts. However in practice, theory development often …

Human generalization research aims to understand the processes underlying the transfer of
prior experiences to new contexts. Generalization research predominantly relies on …

After learning that one stimulus predicts an outcome (eg, an aqua-colored rectangle leads to
shock) and a very similar stimulus predicts no outcome (eg, a slightly greener rectangle …
