In PTSD, lower amplitude NPY stress responses may occur at high frequency in reaction to over generalized, conditioned threat cues in environments that are objectively safe, thus multiplying risk over time" (Rasmusson et al., 2010).
We show that CBD-treated animals had increased levels of freezing during conditioning, enhanced generalized fear, inhibited cue-dependent memory extinction, slightly increased levels of freezing during an auditory-cued memory test, and increased contextual fear memory.
24.060s for local cues, 20.170s for generalized eigenvectors.
Experiment 3 used a within-subjects design to assess the specificity of the inhibition by the contextual cues, separate from any generalized effects due solely to the prior experience of footshocks.
Together, these results suggest that feature X did not retrospectively acquire excitatory strength or occasion setting power, but rather a generalized ability to increase responding to any other cue.
im2evec.m: computes the generalized eigenvectors of the image based on the intervening contour cue using the gPB signal.
Students described lesbians as butch and masculine (Hayfield 2013, p. 19), thus providing generalized accounts of how heterosexual individuals perceive and recognize lesbian and gay appearance cues.
Another alternative explanation for increased behavioral conflict effects after cues signaling high conflict probability is that these cues may trigger a generalized cautious response mode of proactive slowing, possibly through an increased decision threshold.
Of course, 'similarity' is relative: whether a particular cue elicits a response depends, among other things, on whether organisms use broad, generalized criteria (Fig. 2C) as opposed to more specialized, precise criteria (Fig. 2B) for evaluating environmental conditions.
DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.7554/eLife.08969.003 The LA is known to participate in cued-fear processing (LeDoux, 2000) and altered fear coding in this region correlates with generalized fear responses (Ghosh and Chattarji, 2015).
