关于惊吓眨眼反射的情绪调节，现在有大量的文献。目前的研究探讨了耳后反射的情感调制，这可以测量有关的相同的噪音探头用于唤起惊吓反射。我们记录了耳后反射在观看图片，不同的情绪效价，内容和强度系统。一个显着的线性调制效应被发现，愉快的图片增强和厌恶的图片抑制耳后反射相比，中性图片。这种调节作用并没有改变图片内容的功能，但它是最强大的高度紧张的情绪图片。基本的情绪行动倾向的评估的影响进行了讨论。
A large literature now exists on emotional modulation of the startle blink reflex. The current study examined affective modulation of the post-auricular reflex, which can be measured in relation to the same noise probe used to evoke the startle reflex. We recorded the post-auricular reflex during viewing of pictures that varied systematically in emotional valence, content, and intensity. A significant linear valence modulation effect was found, with pleasant pictures potentiating and aversive pictures inhibiting the post-auricular reflex in comparison with neutral pictures. This modulatory effect did not vary as a function of picture content, but it was most robust for highly intense emotional pictures. Implications for the assessment of basic emotional action tendencies are discussed.
