Abstract
Safety cue learning presents a novel approach to fear reduction. This study explored the neural correlates of safety cue learning in healthy adults and in children with and without anxiety disorders. Across groups, participants learned to differentiate between safety and threat, providing a foundation for adapting such paradigms for humans.
