Reducing the Complexity of the Experimental Design Attenuates Trait-Level Effects in Threat Safety Discrimination Learning

Poster Session VI

Keyword: Studying and Learning

Abstract: Discrimination between threat and safety cues is a critical aspect of threat learning. While research suggests threat discrimination learning varies dependent on trait measures of negative emotionality, the scientific literature is very inconsistent. Here, we provide evidence that the complexity of the experimental design can mediate individual difference effects.
