The aim of this project is to increase our understanding of fear and anxiety. Anxiety disorders, which are characterised by the inability to appropriately regulate fear, are among the most prevalent psychological disturbances in industrialized countries, with between 10-30% of the population suffering from one at some point in their life. Because of this, there has been a long-standing interest in the experimental study of learned fear. The present project takes a developmental approach because many theories of anxiety disorders emphasise the role of early experience. From this perspective, it is imperative that we have an understanding of developmental differences in the processes involved in the emotion of fear.

这个项目的目的是增加我们对恐惧和焦虑的理解。焦虑症的特征是无法适当调节恐惧，是工业化国家最普遍的心理障碍之一，10-30%的人口在生活中的某个时候患有焦虑症。正因为如此，人们对习得性恐惧的实验研究一直很感兴趣。本项目采用发展的方法，因为许多焦虑症的理论强调早期经验的作用。从这个角度来看，我们必须了解恐惧情绪所涉及的过程中的发展差异。
