In our latest paper, we address this question in a large sample and in four data modalities. We find responses to outcome omission in all data modalities, but also clear and significant evidence against an expression of prediction errors. #predictionerrors #fearconditioning

📢Publication Alert: New Paper on Human Pavlovian Fear Conditioning! It has been speculated that psychophysiological responses to an outcome during learning could express prediction errors. ➡️ onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... #associativelearning #psychophysiology #PavlovianFearConditioning

Pavlovian reward learning is driven by prediction errors (PE), but it remains unclear whether this is also the case for aversive learning, and to what extent PE are expressed in physiological indices...

[2/3] We show that approach–avoidance conflict behaviour relates to transdiagnostic psychiatric symptom dimensions, not specifically to anxiety. These findings challenge a core assumption in preclinical anxiety research and highlight the role of broader psychopathology factors.
