In rodent studies, faster extinction rate has been shown to predict less long-term fear. However, this scarcely studied in humans. The present report investigated the association between and fear We secondarily evaluated specificity of by including other conditioning values as predictors, acquisition intercept, rate, intercept. Lastly, we whether trait measures behavioral approach, inhibition, ...

Recent advances in the field of fear learning have demonstrated that a single reminder exposure prior to extinction training can prevent the return of extinguished fear by disrupting the process of reconsolidation. These findings have however proven hard to replicate in humans. Given the significant implications of preventing the return of fear, the purpose of the present study was to further s...
