摘要: Abstract Covariation estimates (CEs) between fear-relevant (FR) stimuli (slides of airplane crash sites) or fear-irrelevant (FI) airplanes in flight mushrooms) and an aversive outcome (electrical shock) were examined 15 phobics (high-fear participants) non-flight–phobic individuals (low-fear by means illusory correlation experiment. In spite a random relationship all slide categories (illusory correlation), exhibited covariation bias showed higher CEs for the contingency FR slides shocks than FI first experimental block. The was significantly that individuals, while high- low-fear participants did not differ their other slide-shock combinations. However, even high-fear able to correct initial subsequent blocks, presumably based on disconfirming situational information.
