| summary | During this symposium, speakers will present new insights on how context (threat / anxiety induction) and culture influence the way we process information conveyed by faces. Each presentation will last 40 minutes and will be followed by 15 minutes of questions.
To beware of a particular person or situation, we do not necessarily need to have had negative experiences with them. Aversive anticipations, as triggered by social communication, have been shown to reliably activate physiological defense mechanisms. However, very little is known about how instructional learning modulates face and person perception. This talk summarizes recent studies focusing on the mutual impact of verbal and facial information on threat and safety learning (acquisition, reversal, and extinction learning). Three main questions are addressed: (1) How effective is facial information in cueing instructed threat or safety? (2) To what degree is face processing modulated by aversive anticipation during sustained contextual threat? (3) To what extent can social factors facilitate the extinction of threat associations? As aversive anticipations can be amazingly persistent – even when the aversive outcomes are never experienced – the implications for a range of anxiety disorders are evident. |
