Facial expressions as excitatory and inhibitory stimuli for conditioned autonomic responses.

TLDR
In experiments where pictures of angry, happy or neutral facial expressions were used as conditioned stimuli in aversive Pavlovian electrodermal conditioning, angry and happy faces exhibited an excitatory and inhibitory effect, respectively, and these effects were mediated by the stimulus person.About:

Fears, phobias and preparedness: Toward an evolved module of fear and fear learning
Arne Öhman,Susan Mineka +1 more
TL;DR: The fear module is assumed to mediate an emotional level of fear learning that is relatively independent and dissociable from cognitive learning of stimulus relationships.
Journal ArticleDOI
Finding the face in the crowd : An anger superiority effect
TL;DR: This paper found that threatening faces pop out of crowds, perhaps as a result of a preattentive, parallel search for signals of direct threat, and that face-processing should be highly efficient.
Journal ArticleDOI
Face the beast and fear the face: animal and social fears as prototypes for evolutionary analyses of emotion.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors apply a functional-evolutionary perspective to fear in the context of encounters with animals and threatening humans and demonstrate that responses to evolutionary fear-relevant stimuli can elicit the physiological concomitants of fear after only a very quick, “unconsciousness, or preattentive stimulus analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The impact of social context on mimicry.
Patrick Bourgeois,Ursula Hess +1 more
TL;DR: Results suggest that the level of facial mimicry varies as a function of group membership, and mimicry levels were influenced by the kind of emotion displayed by the expresser.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facial electromyography and emotional reactions.
TL;DR: In this paper, the facial muscle activity was found to be a general component of the emotional reaction and demonstrate that the facial EMG technique is a sensitive tool for measuring emotional reactions.

Experimental Design: Procedures for the Behavioral Sciences
TL;DR: This chapter discusses research strategies and the Control of Nuisance Variables, as well as randomly Randomized Factorial Design with Three or More Treatments and Randomized Block Factorial design, and Confounded Factorial Designs: Designs with Group-Interaction Confounding.

On the generality of the laws of learning
TL;DR: A review of data from the traditional learning paradigms shows that the assumption of equivalent associability is false: in classical conditioning, rats are prepared to associate tastes with illness even over very long delays of reinforcement, but are contraprepared to associated tastes with footshock.
