Zürcher, N. R. et al. Perception of social cues of danger in autism spectrum disorders.
Furthermore, in the context of chemosensory stress signals, the perceptual acuity for social safety cues is reduced [13], whereas the perceptual acuity for social cues of danger is increased [12], [14].
It's often right to do so, because System 1 is for the most part pretty good at what it does; it's highly sensitive to subtle environmental cues, signs of danger, and so on.
Thus, inasmuch as panic attacks occur in the absence of cues of external danger and are triggered by heightened CO2 concentrations, they are better seen as inner unconditioned false alarms of biological origin.
We found no coherence between personality traits and gustatory modality (mainly related to eating) but significant coherence between personality traits and olfactory, trigeminal sensory and electrical cutaneous modality; systems usually thought to be related to detection of social cues and awareness of danger.
However, when the cue is no longer a valid predictor of danger, but the emotional response persists, this can result in maladaptive behaviors, and in humans contribute to debilitating emotional disorders.
The cue in this case, the water-borne chemical, comes in a variety of concentrations, which indicate various levels of danger.
24 In terms of ecology and evolution, carcasses are reliable cues of two potential dangers to mammalian herbivores: (1) pathogenic microbes, and (2) dangerous carnivores.
A little thrill of danger.
Alters your perception of danger.
