Early Development of Fear Processing (2012, background): “…that the amygdala and connected brain areas may be especially important for processing these latter, indirect signals of threat and for assigning emotional significance to events or objects in the environment (Hooker, Germine, Knight, & D’Esposito, 2006; Olsson & Phelps, 2007; Whalen, 1998).”
Phasic vs Sustained Fear in Rats and Humans: Role of the Extended Amygdala in Fear vs Anxiety (2009, background): “…mode of communication of danger typically involved in everyday life, without direct experience with the aversive event (eg, one fears and avoids swimming in shark-infested waters not because one has been bitten by a shark, but because one has been forewarned of the risk; Olsson and Phelps, 2007).”
Silenced by fear:: The nature, sources, and consequences of fear at work (2009, background): “Parents may also unintentionally communicate through storytelling that challenging authority figures should be feared and avoided (Olsson & Phelps, 2007) and by showing fear of authority figures themselves (Field et al., 2001; Muris, Bogels, Meesters, der Kamp, & van Oosten, 1996).”
Neural Circuitry Underlying the Regulation of Conditioned Fear and Its Relation to Extinction (2008, neutral): “A similar pattern has been observed in studies of fear acquisition in which cognitive and social means of fear learning depend on the amygdala for expression (Olsson and Phelps, 2007).”
The neural bases of social cognition and story comprehension. (2011, background): “Complicating this interpretation is a meta-analysis of amygdalic activations that found no relation between language-related stimuli and hemispheric lateralization (Baas et al. 2004; cf. Markowitsch 1998, Olsson & Phelps 2007).”
Social dimension of emotions and its implication for animal welfare (2012, background): “That is, an observer animal learns to fear another species, an object or a situation through the observation of fearful reactions of a conspecific to the object/situation (Olsson and Phelps, 2007).”
Observational fear learning involves affective pain system and Cav1.2 Ca2+ channels in ACC (2010, background): “Fear can be acquired and expressed in a variety of way”
Lasting recognition of threatening people by wild American crows (2010, background): “…regulate behavioural expressions of fear (e.g. scolding and mobbing) and avoidance behaviours (e.g. increased flight distance), and is closely associated with a hippocampus that allows learning the spatial and temporal context of the cues associated with danger (Olsson & Phelps 2007; Adolphs 2008).”
A meta-analysis of instructed fear studies: Implications for conscious appraisal of threat (2010, background): “…reasons: Based on one lesion (Funayama et al., 2001 ) and one fMRI study (Phelps et al., 2001), it has been argued that the amygdala, in particular the left amygdala, is required for instructed fear, although more in terms of CR expression than contingency learning (Olsson and Phelps, 2007).”
Don't fear ‘fear conditioning’: Methodological considerations for the design and analysis of studies on human fear acquisition, extinction, and return of fear (2017, neutral): “…for ear acquisition, there are multiple ways to extinguish CRs, includng direct and vicarious extinction training as well as instructed xtinction protocols which will not be discussed in detail here vicarious extinction: Golkar et al., 2013b; observational fear learnng: Olsson and Phelps, 2007).”
Empathy: a motivated account. (2014, background): “For instance, observers condition more quickly to stimuli paired with images of others being shocked (Berger, 1962; Olsson & Phelps, 2007; Vaughan & Lanzetta, 1980) and report pain to be more unpleasant when targets receive simultaneous painful stimuli (Loggia, Mogil, & Bushnell, 2008).”
A framework for studying the neurobiology of value-based decision making (2008, background): “? To what extent can the different value systems learn by observation as opposed to through direct experienc”
