Fear generalization in humans: impact of verbal instructions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether verbal instructions about specific stimulus features can influence conditioned fear generalization and found that the same learning experience can have opposite effects in terms of fear generalisation, depending on verbally transmitted information about the relative importance of individual stimulus features.
